As of version 16.0, the following ranges are assigned to the Sumero-Akkadian Cuneiform script in the [[Unicode]] Standard:<ref>[https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U12000.pdf]"Cuneiform and Hieroglyphs", in The Unicode® Standard Version 16.0 – Core Specification, September 10, 2024</ref>
*U+12000–U+123FF (922 assigned characters) [[Cuneiform (Unicode block)|Cuneiform]]
*U+12400–U+1247F (116 assigned characters) [[Cuneiform Numbers and Punctuation]]
*U+12480–U+1254F (196 assigned characters) [[Early Dynastic Cuneiform]]
*In proposal phase [[Proto-cuneiform]]<ref>[https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2024/24210r-archaic-numerals.pdf] Robin Leroy, Anshuman Pandey, and Steve Tinney, "Archaic cuneiform numerals", L2/24-210R, 2024-10-23</ref>

The final proposal for Unicode encoding of the script was submitted by two cuneiform scholars working with an experienced Unicode proposal writer in June 2004.<ref>Everson, Michael; Feuerherm, Karljürgen; Tinney, Steve (June 8, 2004). "[https://unicode.org/wg2/docs/n2786.pdf Final proposal to encode the Cuneiform script in the SMP of the UCS]".</ref> The base character inventory is derived from the list of [[Ur III]] signs compiled by the [[Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative]] of [[UCLA]] based on the inventories of Miguel Civil, Rykle Borger (2003) and Robert Englund. Rather than opting for a direct ordering by glyph shape and complexity, according to the numbering of an existing catalog, the Unicode order of glyphs was based on the Latin alphabetic order of their "last" Sumerian transliteration as a practical approximation. Once in Unicode, glyphs can be automatically processed into segmented transliterations.<ref>Gordin S, Gutherz G, Elazary A, Romach A, Jiménez E, Berant J, et al.
