CUNEIFORM SIGN I A is other letters, including syllables and ideographs from the Supplementary Multilingual Plane.

The bidi class of CUNEIFORM SIGN I A is Left-to-Right (Strong). It belongs to the strong left-to-right characters..

The Left-to-Right (L) bidi class is assigned to characters that are written from left to right. This includes most alphabetic characters from Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, and other scripts that are typically written in this direction. The presence of L characters in a text influences the overall text directionality in bidirectional contexts.

Other Letter (Lo) refers to letters that do not fit into the uppercase, lowercase, titlecase, or modifier letter categories. These include letters from scripts that do not have case distinction, such as Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, and others. This category is also used for syllabic and ideographic characters that function as letters.

This character belongs to the Cuneiform block. The Cuneiform block includes characters used in the ancient writing system of cuneiform, which was developed by the Sumerians around 3000 BCE and used throughout the ancient Near East for over three millennia. Cuneiform is a logo-syllabic script, meaning it includes both logograms (symbols representing words) and syllabic signs. This block contains characters used in several cuneiform scripts, including Sumerian, Akkadian, and Hittite. Cuneiform was used for a wide range of texts, from administrative records to literary works like the Epic of Gilgamesh. The script is one of the earliest forms of writing and played a central role in the development of ancient civilizations..
