Unicode Version 17.0

ð’”¾

U+1253E "ð’”¾" Cuneiform Sign Uru Times Dara3 is a specific logogram from the cuneiform script, historically used to write the Sumerian and Akkadian languages. It is formed by combining the sign for "URU," meaning city, with "DARA3," a variant of the sign for "ibex" or perhaps "male animal," creating a compound symbol that likely represents a specific name, place, or administrative or religious concept in ancient Mesopotamian texts. This character belongs to the block of Early Dynastic Cuneiform in the Unicode Standard, which encodes signs from the earliest stages of writing in the ancient Near East, and reflects the complexity of cuneiform's system of phonetic and ideographic expression.
