U+13236 "𓈶" Egyptian Hieroglyph Nu001 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+13236 "𓈶" Egyptian Hieroglyph Nu001 is a glyph from the extended Egyptian Hieroglyphic block, specifically representing a sign from the N class of Gardiner's sign list known as Nu001, which typically depicts a body of water or a series of rippling waves and is closely associated with the phonetic value "nw" or related water concepts in ancient Egyptian writing. This hieroglyph is part of a larger effort in Unicode to digitally encode the ancient Egyptian script, allowing for the accurate representation of texts from tombs, temples, and papyri that use this symbol to convey ideas of fluidity, the Nile, or primordial waters. As a water sign, it often appears in inscriptions relating to geography, cosmology, or the natural world, reflecting the centrality of the Nile to Egyptian civilization. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that scholars, linguists, and enthusiasts can preserve and study this historical writing system in modern digital formats.
