𓆷

U+131B7 "𓆷" Egyptian Hieroglyph M008 is a representation from the ancient Egyptian writing system, specifically classified under the Gardiner sign list as M008, which depicts a single reed or a flowering plant. This hieroglyph is part of the "M" category for trees, plants, and vegetation, and it serves as a logogram for the word "sw" meaning reed, or as a phonetic complement in other words.

Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that digital texts, academic research, and cultural preservation efforts can accurately reproduce this ancient symbol.
