Unicode Version 17.0

𓅤

U+13164 "𓅤" Egyptian Hieroglyph G032 is a pictographic symbol from the Gardiner sign list representing a pintail duck, which in ancient Egyptian writing served as a biliteral phonogram for the sounds "sꜢ" or "zꜢ" (often transliterated as "sa") and also functioned as a determinative in words related to birds or flight. This character, part of the Egyptian Hieroglyphs block in Unicode, depicts the bird in a profile view with distinct tail feathers and was widely used in religious, funerary, and administrative texts from the Middle Kingdom onward. As a sign encoded for modern digital text, it allows scholars and enthusiasts to represent ancient Egyptian language accurately in electronic documents and databases.
