Unicode Version 17.0

𓜅

U+13705 "𓜅" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# is a specific glyph from the Egyptian Hieroglyph block, which was included in Unicode Standard version 5.2 to encode the writing system of ancient Egypt. This particular character represents a hieroglyphic sign, though its exact phonetic or semantic value depends on the context within Egyptian texts, as many hieroglyphs could function as logograms, determinatives, or phonograms. The number sign (#) in its name is a placeholder used during the encoding process to denote an unspecific or generic identifier for the glyph within its category. As part of the broader effort to digitize ancient scripts, U+13705 allows scholars, linguists, and enthusiasts to reproduce Egyptian hieroglyphs in modern digital environments, facilitating research, education, and preservation of this historic language.
