U+12526 "𒔦" Cuneiform Sign Ninda2 Times Kesh2 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+12526 "𒔦" Cuneiform Sign Ninda2 Times Kesh2 is a specific glyph used in the ancient cuneiform writing system, which was developed by the Sumerians and later adopted by several languages of the ancient Near East, including Akkadian and Hittite. This character is a compound sign created by combining the cuneiform symbol for "ninda" (often associated with bread or food in Sumerian) with the sign "kesh2" (a term for a type of binding or ritual location), indicating a particular, complex lexical or logographic meaning. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard, specifically within the Cuneiform block (U+12000 to U+125FF), ensures that this rare and historically significant sign can be accurately represented and exchanged in modern digital text, preserving the details of ancient Mesopotamian record-keeping and literature.
