Unicode Version 17.0

𓅲

U+13172 "𓅲" Egyptian Hieroglyph G043A is a representation from the Gardiner sign list, specifically depicting a lapwing bird, often identified with the crested or wattled lapwing, and it holds significant phonetic and symbolic value in ancient Egyptian writing. This hieroglyph is commonly used as a uniliteral sign for the sound "r" or as a logogram in words related to the concept of a "commoner" or "subject," reflecting its role in denoting the non-royal populace. Within the context of Egyptian culture, the lapwing hieroglyph also appears in artistic and funerary contexts, sometimes associated with the idea of protection or the people's relationship to the pharaoh, though its primary function remains as a phonogram in the written language.
