Cuneiform Sign Ezen Times Su

It names a compound sign analysis, not a single English word.

In modern sign-list notation, × says that EZEN and SU are analyzed together as one sign; it is not multiplication. Cuneiform signs can stand for whole words or syllables, and a sign's reading depends on the language and sentence around it. EZEN×SU identifies the structure, but the name alone does not give one reading.

Cuneiform is attested at Uruk around 3500–3200 BCE, when growing administration needed records of goods and services. Early Dynastic material from 2900–2335 BCE, including finds from Fāra and Tell Abū-Ṣalābīkh, includes administrative, legal, lexical, and literary texts. As scribes used cuneiform for Sumerian, Akkadian, and other languages, sign values and uses could vary.

Why does cuneiform look different in different fonts?

Fonts may choose different historical drawings; the code point is unchanged.

A typeface may follow the style of Early Dynastic tablets, while another follows a later tradition such as Neo-Assyrian. These are historical drawing conventions, not different encoded signs.

Modern sign lists, especially the List of Archaic Cuneiform Signs from Fara, organized the repertoire using photographs and hand copies of tablets. That modern catalogue helps identify a sign; it does not establish one universal ancient reading.
