Unicode Version 17.0

𓅬

U+1316C "𓅬" Egyptian Hieroglyph G038 is a sign from the Gardiner classification system representing a goose or duck, specifically identified as the Egyptian goose (Alopochen aegyptiaca). In the ancient Egyptian writing system, this hieroglyph was used logographically to write the word for "bird" or related fowl terms, and it also served a phonetic role, typically representing the triconsonantal sound "sr" in certain words. As part of the Egyptian Hieroglyphs block in Unicode, this character enables digital representation and study of one of the many pictorial signs that formed the basis of classical Egyptian script from the Old Kingdom onward.
