* U+12480&ndash;U+1254F '''[[Early Dynastic Cuneiform]]'''

The sample glyphs in the chart file published by the Unicode Consortium<ref>[https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U12000.pdf Cuneiform Unicode.org chart (PDF)]</ref> show the characters in their Classical Sumerian form ([[Early Dynastic Period of Sumer|Early Dynastic period]], mid 3rd millennium BCEBC). The characters as written during the 2nd and 1st millennia BCEBC, the era during which the vast majority of cuneiform texts were written, are considered font variants of the same characters.
