Unicode Version 17.0

ð’”·

U+12537 "ð’”·" Cuneiform Sign Shu2 Plus E2 Times An is a complex logogram from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, used primarily in ancient Mesopotamia for writing on clay tablets. This sign is a compound glyph, formed by combining the sign for "shu2" (often associated with hands or placing) with the signs for "e2" (house or temple) and "an" (heaven or the god Anu), resulting in a specific lexical or phonetic value. It likely appears in administrative, religious, or literary texts, where such composite signs could denote a particular word, divine name, or technical term within the syllabic and logographic writing system. Represented in the Unicode standard as part of the Cuneiform block to enable digital preservation of ancient scripts, this character helps scholars and linguists accurately transcribe and study historical documents from the Bronze Age civilizations of the Near East.
