U+12102 "𒄂" Cuneiform Sign Gi Times U is a glyph from the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform script, specifically a compound sign formed by combining the signs for GI and U, where "times" indicates that the two signs are layered or superimposed rather than written sequentially. This character was used in ancient Mesopotamia on clay tablets as part of the logo-syllabic writing system, where it could represent a specific phonetic syllable or a logogram for a particular word, depending on the context.
