· No glyphs given in K&H, K&L, BMM9, 25EMC – i.e. TOK is the only known reference to this logogram.
· The two ovalish elements (top and right) are very suggestive of one of the (rarer) variants of syllabogram u, but JU’ does not have any cross-hatched areas on the face, present in that variant of u.
· Reading: TOK (2017) has JU? while both MHD and Bonn have JU. This which might imply that confidence in the JU reading has grown in the course of time.
· Meaning: unknown.
· Known (to me) only from occurrences on:
o CNC Panel 1: the name of one of the rulers (Tajal Chan Ahk, Aj Chak Ju’ Te’).
o CNC Panel 3: the carver of the monument was the Baah Che’b (“Head Scribe”) of Aj Chak Ju’ Te’.
o YAX Lintel 10: one of the additional names/titles of the last ruler: K’inich Tatbu Jolom IV.
