What 𒐊 means
It is a cuneiform sign for five. The wider Mesopotamian number tradition reaches the late fourth millennium BCE, when clay records tracked goods and measures. Some numerals depended on what was counted.
In Sumerian, an ancient Mesopotamian language, readings are transliterated as ia₂ and ya, both for “five.” Akkadian, another Mesopotamian language, used this Sumerian sign to write “five.” “Dish” distinguishes it from five ash (𒐃).
