Cuneiform Numbers and Punctuation
Info · Characters
The Cuneiform Numbers and Punctuation Unicode block contains the symbols for numbers and punctuation found in cuneiform tablets, supporting detailed study and digital preservation of some of humanity’s earliest written records.
In Unicode, the Sumero-Akkadian Cuneiform script is covered in three blocks in the Supplementary Multilingual Plane (SMP): U+12000–U+123FF Cuneiform U+12400–U+1247F Cuneiform Numbers and Punctuation U+12480–U+1254F Early Dynastic Cuneiform The sample glyphs in the chart file published by the Unicode Consortium show the characters in their Classical Sumerian form (Early Dynastic period, mid 3rd millennium BCE). The characters as written during the 2nd and 1st millennia BCE, the era during which the vast majority of cuneiform texts were written, are considered font variants of the same characters.
