This page lists the essential Unicode characters for transliterating and normalising Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform.
Several families of fonts containing all of these characters are available from the fonts page.
A collection of keyboards supporting Unicode transliterations
implements a consistent set of input conventions across operating
systems. The keystrokes in the 'KEYS' column below are composed of
the comma character (,
) followed
by the character typed to produce a Unicode result.
For complete details please see the keyboards page.
