U+1315C "𓅜" Egyptian Hieroglyph G025 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𓅜

U+1315C "𓅜" Egyptian Hieroglyph G025 is a sign from the Gardiner classification system representing a crested ibis, specifically the species Geronticus eremita, which was revered in ancient Egyptian culture as a symbol of wisdom and learning due to its association with the god Thoth. This glyph is part of the Egyptian Hieroglyphs block in Unicode, which was added to the standard to enable digital representation of the classical hieroglyphic script used from around 3200 BCE through the Roman period. In its original context, the crested ibis hieroglyph served both as a logogram for the word "akh" meaning "spirit" or "effective one" and as a phonogram for the sound value "akh," playing a key role in religious and funerary texts, particularly the Pyramid Texts.
