The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
Lugal (Sumerian: π) is the Sumerian term for "king, ruler". Literally, the term means "big man." In Sumerian, lu "π½" is "man" and gal "π²" is "great," or "big."
It was one of several Sumerian titles that a ruler of a city-state could bear (alongside en and ensi, the exact difference being a subject of debate). The sign eventually became the predominant logograph for "King" in general. In the Sumerian language, lugal is used to mean an owner (e.g. of a boat or a field) or a head (of a unit such as a family).
As a cuneiform logograph (Sumerogram) LUGAL (Unicode: π, rendered in Neo Assyrian).
