Unicode Version 17.0

𓑉

U+13449 "𓑉" Egyptian Hieroglyph Modifier Damaged at Start is a specialized formatting glyph used within the Egyptian Hieroglyphs block to indicate that the beginning of an inscription, often a line or column of text, is fractured, eroded, or otherwise unreadable due to damage to the physical medium such as stone or papyrus. This modifier does not represent a phonetic or logographic sign but instead functions as a metatextual marker for scholars and digital text encoding, allowing them to document and display the visual condition of the original artifact without guessing at the missing content. It is part of a small set of similar modifier characters that address damage at different positions, aiding in the accurate reconstruction and scholarly transcription of ancient Egyptian texts.
