List of all characters from the Cuneiform Unicode Characters
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..
