U+131EA "𓇪" Egyptian Hieroglyph M040A Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𓇪

U+131EA "𓇪" Egyptian Hieroglyph M040A is a glyph from the Gardiner sign list's "M" category, representing a cluster of reeds or a thicket, specifically the determinative for plants, vegetation, or the word for "marsh" in ancient Egyptian writing. This hieroglyph, often depicted as a bundle of three upright, frond-like stems tied together, formed part of the logographic and phonetic system used in inscriptions and religious texts, contributing to the visual and semantic richness of the script. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for digital representation and study of Egyptian hieroglyphs, preserving a small but significant piece of the language's botanical imagery that was used to convey meaning in contexts like the Nile Delta landscapes.
