Unicode Version 17.0

𓂫

U+130AB "𓂫" Egyptian Hieroglyph D048A is a sign from the ancient Egyptian writing system, specifically classified under the category of parts of the human body, representing a stylized human phallus. In its original usage, this ideogram carried multiple meanings, primarily denoting the concepts of "male," "man," or "husband," and it also functioned phonetically to represent the sound "mt" in certain spellings of words. The symbol is part of the Gardiner sign list under category D48, and its inclusion in Unicode allows for its digital representation and study, preserving a direct link to the complex hieroglyphic script that was used for over three millennia in religious, administrative, and funerary texts.
