U+137FE "𓟾" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𓟾

U+137FE "𓟾" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# is a specific sign from the Egyptian Hieroglyphs Extended-A block, representing a partially identified or unclassified glyph whose precise meaning and transliteration remain uncertain due to its late addition to the Unicode Standard for encoding ancient texts. Its inclusion supports the digital preservation of rare or fragmentary inscriptions, often found in religious or funerary contexts from the Ptolemaic and Roman periods, where it functions as a phonetic complement or logographic component within a larger word. As a specialized character, it is primarily used by Egyptologists and digital humanities scholars to transcribe and analyze hieroglyphic corpora with maximum fidelity to original sources, despite its lack of a widely recognized conventional reading.
