U+13447 "𓑇" Egyptian Hieroglyph Modifier Damaged at Top Start Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𓑇

U+13447 "𓑇" Egyptian Hieroglyph Modifier Damaged at Top Start is a specialized control character used within the Egyptian Hieroglyph Format Controls block to indicate that the top portion of a preceding hieroglyphic sign should be rendered as damaged or broken off rather than intact. This modifier is part of a system that allows digital texts to represent the physical state of ancient inscriptions, where signs may be partially lost due to erosion or chipping. By applying this code point after a base hieroglyph, scholars and typographers can visually reconstruct a more accurate and nuanced appearance of the original artifact without altering the character's fundamental identity. This approach supports precise scholarly communication and faithful digital preservation of damaged or fragmentary Egyptian texts.
