U+1385C "𓡜" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𓡜

U+1385C "𓡜" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# is a specific glyph from the Egyptian Hieroglyph block, which encodes writing symbols from the ancient Egyptian script used for religious texts, monumental inscriptions, and administrative records. This particular hieroglyph, assigned a placeholder label of "#" in its formal name due to the vast number of signs in the system, represents one of the many pictographic characters that could denote a word, a sound, or a determinative in the logographic and phonetic writing system. Part of the extended set added in Unicode version 7.0 to better cover the full range of known hieroglyphs from sources like the Gardiner list, it allows scholars and digital archivists to accurately reproduce ancient Egyptian texts in modern computing environments. While its precise meaning depends on context and classification, the character contributes to the ongoing effort to preserve and study one of humanity's earliest and most influential writing traditions.
