U+12523 "𒔣" Cuneiform Sign Ninda2 Times Gish Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𒔣
U+12523 "𒔣" Cuneiform Sign Ninda2 Times Gish is a compound character from the Sumerian and Akkadian cuneiform script, representing a specific sign formed by combining the sign for NINDA2 (often associated with food or bread) with the sign GISH (meaning wood or tree). This particular glyph, used primarily in ancient Mesopotamian writing on clay tablets, likely denoted a specific type of ration, measurement, or item associated with both agricultural and wooden or treelike components. As part of the Unicode Standard's Cuneiform block, it preserves a precise logographic or syllabic element from the complex writing system that was employed for over three millennia in the ancient Near East.
