U+1308D "𓂍" Egyptian Hieroglyph D023 is a specific glyph from the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic script, representing the phonetic value "dšr" and typically depicting the vocal organ of a bull or cow, often associated with the concept of "spleen" or "blood" due to its reddish coloration in painted texts. This sign belongs to Gardiner's sign list category D, which encompasses parts of the human or animal body, and it was used in Egyptian writing to spell words related to redness, bloodshed, or emotional states like anger.
