U+134C9 "𓓉" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𓓉

U+134C9 "𓓉" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# is part of the Egyptian Hieroglyphs block, which encodes signs from the ancient Egyptian writing system used in the Classical and Middle Kingdom periods. This specific glyph, designated as a "Shackle" or "Fetter" in the Gardiner sign list under category V20, represents a literal hobble or leg restraint often associated with binding or captivity in hieroglyphic texts. It serves both as a logogram for the word "mnt" meaning fetter or restraint and as a determinative in words related to binding and imprisonment, reflecting its tangible origin in ancient Egyptian material culture. The character was added to the Unicode Standard in version 12.0, released in March 2019, as part of an effort to digitally preserve and make accessible over a thousand Egyptian hieroglyphs for modern encoding and scholarly use.
