U+131F1 "𓇱" Egyptian Hieroglyph N003 is a sign from the ancient Egyptian writing system, part of the category for sky, earth, and water, specifically representing a long, vertical form that scholars often identify as the "East" or the horizon glyph, typically associated with the sun rising between two mountain peaks. This hieroglyph appears in religious and funerary texts, such as the Pyramid Texts, where it symbolizes the eastern horizon from which the sun god Re was born each day, and it frequently accompanies other signs to denote concepts of dawn, rebirth, and the cyclical renewal of life.
