U+13328 "𓌨" Egyptian Hieroglyph T028 Unicode Character

U+13328 "𓌨" Egyptian Hieroglyph T028 is a sign from the Gardiner sign list representing a bow, specifically a recurved or composite bow. In the written system of ancient Egyptian, this hieroglyph served primarily as a phonogram for the sound "pdt" when used in the word for "bow" or "archery," and it also functioned as a determinative in words related to archers, foreign lands (particularly regions associated with skilled bowmen like Nubia), and military contexts. Its inclusion in Unicode allows this historically significant symbol to be digitally represented, preserved, and studied in modern text and epigraphic research.
