Unicode Version 17.0

ð’”­

U+1252D "ð’”­" Cuneiform Sign Sag Gunu Times Ha is a specific glyph from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, used primarily in ancient Mesopotamian writing on clay tablets. This character visually combines the sign SAG (meaning "head" or "top") with a doubled or "gunu" shading marker, repeated or multiplied in relation to the sign HA, which often represents the syllable "ha" or the concept of "fish". Such complex compound signs were employed in the syllabic and logographic writing system of languages like Sumerian and Akkadian, appearing in administrative, literary, and scholarly texts from the third millennium BCE onward. The character is encoded in the Unicode Standard as part of the Cuneiform block to facilitate digital representation and research of ancient Near Eastern documents.
