Unicode Version 17.0

𓅎

U+1314E "𓅎" Egyptian Hieroglyph G012 is a representation of an upright vulture, a sign that belongs to Gardiner’s list of hieroglyphs under the bird category and is associated with the phonetic value /mt/ in ancient Egyptian writing. This glyph often carries the determinative or ideographic meaning of "mother" when paired with the appropriate context, as it visually depicts the Egyptian vulture (likely the species Neophron percnopterus). In its usage, it appears in religious and funerary texts, such as the Pyramid Texts, where it symbolizes maternal protection and the nurturing aspects of the goddess Nekhbet, who was also depicted as a vulture. The encoding of this ancient symbol in the Unicode Standard allows for its digital preservation and accurate representation in modern electronic texts.
