U+1252A "𒔪" Cuneiform Sign Ninda2 Times U Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1252A "𒔪" Cuneiform Sign Ninda2 Times U is a specific glyph from the Cuneiform script used in ancient Mesopotamia, representing a compound sign that combines the concept of "NINDA" (which typically denotes bread or food) and the numeral or phonetic element "U," with the "2" indicating a variant or doubling of the base NINDA sign. This character is part of the Unicode Standard's Cuneiform block, added to support the digital encoding of Sumerian and Akkadian texts, where such compound signs were employed for lexical lists, administrative records, or ritual inscriptions. Its form, a wedge shaped composite of horizontal and vertical strokes, reflects the cuneiform tradition of pressing a reed stylus into clay, and it is primarily used by scholars and linguists for accurate digital representation of ancient documents.
