Unicode Version 17.0

𓅮

U+1316E "𓅮" Egyptian Hieroglyph G040 is a representation of a specific bird glyph from the ancient Egyptian writing system, classified under Gardiner's sign list as G040, which typically depicts a heron or a similar wading bird. This hieroglyph was used in Egyptian texts to convey phonetic values, often associated with the sound "bȝ" or related to concepts of the soul (ba) or heron imagery, functioning both as a logogram and as a phonetic complement in the hieroglyphic script. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard allows for digital representation and study of Egyptian hieroglyphs, preserving a symbol that dates back thousands of years to the writing of the Nile civilization.
