Unicode Version 17.0

𓈓

U+13213 "𓈓" Egyptian Hieroglyph N033A is a sign from the Gardiner sign list's category N for sky, earth, and water, specifically depicting a canal or channel of water, often used in ancient Egyptian writing to represent irrigation canals, the Nile's branches, or the concept of watercourses more broadly. This hieroglyph serves as a determinative in words related to flowing water, such as "mr" for canal, and appears in inscriptions detailing agricultural landscapes, funerary texts describing the underworld's waterways, and royal monuments emphasizing the control of water resources. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for the digital representation of this specific hieroglyphic shape, preserving its historical role in conveying ideas of life-giving water and territorial management within Egyptian script.
