U+1235D "𒍝" Cuneiform Sign Za is a specific logographic and syllabic character from the Sumerian cuneiform script, one of the world’s earliest writing systems developed in ancient Mesopotamia. This sign, typically read as "za," could represent the syllable za or carry lexical meanings related to concepts such as "you" or "stone," depending on its context within cuneiform inscriptions. Carved into clay tablets with a wedge shaped stylus, the character belongs to the Early Dynastic and Old Babylonian periods and is encoded in the Unicode standard's Cuneiform block to preserve and enable digital representation of this ancient written language.
