Unicode Version 17.0

𓅡

U+13161 "𓅡" Egyptian Hieroglyph G029 is a representation from the ancient Egyptian script, specifically depicting a crested ibis standing on a standard, which serves as a determinative or ideogram for the word "akh" meaning "glorious" or "effective spirit" in the context of afterlife or divinity. This glyph is part of the Gardiner sign list category G for birds, and it is often associated with the concept of transformation and the blessed dead who achieved a state of luminosity. In Egyptian mythology, the crested ibis was linked to the god Thoth, though this specific form emphasizes the idea of spiritual effectiveness and radiance. The inclusion of this character in Unicode enables digital preservation and scholarly study of ancient Egyptian writing systems.
