U+13020 "𓀠" Egyptian Hieroglyph A028 Unicode Character

U+13020 "𓀠" Egyptian Hieroglyph A028 is a representation of a seated figure with an ostrich feather on its head, typically interpreted as the goddess Maat or the concept of truth, justice, and cosmic order in ancient Egyptian writing. This glyph belongs to the category of deities and personifications within the Gardiner sign list, specifically under the "A" group for male figures, though Maat is female and distinguished by the feather. It was used in hieroglyphic inscriptions to phonetically represent the sounds "mȝˁ" or to ideographically signify the word for "truth" and related concepts. The character is encoded in the Egyptian Hieroglyphs block of the Unicode Standard, covering the Middle Egyptian period's script.
