U+13037 "ð·" Egyptian Hieroglyph A046 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+13037 "ð·" Egyptian Hieroglyph A046 is part of the Egyptian Hieroglyphs block and depicts a seated male figure with his hand raised to his mouth, a pose commonly interpreted as the determinative or ideograph for eating, drinking, speaking, or singing in ancient Egyptian writing. This hieroglyph belongs to Gardiner's sign list under category A, which represents men and their occupations, and it appears in inscriptions primarily from the Old Kingdom period onward. It served as a logogram in the word for "eat" (wnm) and as a phonetic complement in related terms, while also functioning as a determinative to clarify the semantic field of actions involving the mouth or consumption. The glyph's standardized shape, as encoded in Unicode, is based on the classical form found in Middle Egyptian texts, preserving a key element of the written language used for religious, administrative, and literary records.
