We construct a symbol and coaction for l-loop sunrise integrals, both for the equal-mass and generic-mass cases. These constitute the first concrete examples of symbols and coactions for integrals involving Calabi-Yau threefolds and higher. In order to achieve a symbol of finite length, we recast the differential equations satisfied by the master integrals of this topology in the form of a unipotent differential equation. We augment the basis of master integrals in a natural way by including ratios of maximal cuts τi. We discuss the relationship of this construction to constructions of symbols and coactions for multiple polylogarithms and elliptic multiple polylogarithms, in particular its connection to notions of transcendental weight.
