What 𒈪 means
Nearby signs and language identify its value. A Sumerian sign list links 𒈪 to three distinct words and gives an Akkadian translation for each.
At the end of the fourth millennium BCE, Uruk’s earliest cuneiform records tracked goods and rations. By the middle of the third millennium BCE, scribes had adapted the script for Akkadian too.
Cuneiform font shapes vary by period and region; Unicode assigns one character identity while fonts draw historical styles.
