Script - Cuneiform

Cuneiform is a script value used to encode the ancient wedge-shaped writing system of Mesopotamia, encompassing both the classic Sumerian, Akkadian, and Hittite signs as well as later Babylonian and Assyrian forms. This script value covers the main Unicode block for cuneiform signs, along with specific punctuation and number signs, but it does not include the related but distinct scripts like Ugaritic or Old Persian, which have their own separate values. Characters assigned this value are historical, not modern, and the script is written from left to right, with each sign representing a syllable, a word, or a determinative, reflecting the complex logophonetic nature of the original writing system.
