Unicode Version 17.0

𓡘

U+13858 "𓡘" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# is a specific code point in the Egyptian Hieroglyphs block, which encompasses symbols from the ancient Egyptian writing system used for religious texts, monumental inscriptions, and administrative records. This particular glyph, identified by Gardiner's sign list as a variant or less common sign, does not have a widely recognized standard name or transliteration in common English sources, as many hieroglyphs in the extended Unicode range represent rare or specialized shapes. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for digital representation of Egyptological texts, aiding scholars in preserving and analyzing the complex logographic and phonetic elements of the hieroglyphic script. Despite its obscure classification, it contributes to the broader effort to digitize ancient languages and make them accessible for research and education.
