Unicode Version 17.0

𓑏

U+1344F "𓑏" Egyptian Hieroglyph Modifier Damaged at Top Start and Bottom End is a specialized control character used in the digital encoding of ancient Egyptian texts, specifically within the Egyptian Hieroglyphs Extended-A block. It functions not as a standalone glyph but as a modifier that indicates a particular form of damage or lacuna in the source material, signaling that the top start and bottom end of a preceding hieroglyphic sign are broken or missing. This allows scholars and digital typographers to accurately represent the physical state of an inscribed artifact, preserving the integrity of the original text even when parts of the hieroglyph are illegible.
