Cuneiform Sign TUG₂

𒌆 is a Sumerian sign in cuneiform, the wedge-mark writing used on ancient tablets, for cloth and clothing. It can write a clothing word or silently classify a nearby word; surrounding signs decide its reading.

What 𒌆 means

It signals cloth or clothing; context fixes the reading. TUG₂ can write a textile word or act as a determinative: a silent sign that marks a nearby word as clothing-related. Alone, it has no single translation.

Clothing was recorded early

Textile use is recorded from the Early Dynastic I–II period. An Early Dynastic IIIb tablet from Ebla lists garment allotments; Ur III records weigh and distribute woven clothing. Scribes combined signs in textile terms, including TUG₂-TUG₂ (TUG₂ repeated) and TUG₂.TAG. Wedge layouts varied across scribal traditions; this sign's display is font-dependent.

Why does 𒌆 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
