What 𒋬 means
𒋬 is a historical variant of the cuneiform TA sign. It is listed as a Middle Assyrian form. In Neo-Assyrian use, it had a logographic reading: it could stand for a whole word.
TA asterisk vs TA is a historical sign distinction, not punctuation. The source glyph determines which sign is meant.
Specialist and archival.
Do not read “asterisk” as a star on the tablet.
