Unicode Version 17.0

𓢻

U+138BB "𓢻" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# is part of the Egyptian Hieroglyphs Extended-A block, which was added in Unicode version 16.0 to encode signs from the ancient Egyptian writing system, specifically those found in the so-called "Catalogue of the Books of the Netherworld" and related funerary texts. This particular glyph represents one of the many standardized hieroglyphic symbols used in religious or administrative contexts, though its exact transliteration and meaning depend on the specific text or inscription in which it appears. As a digital representation, it allows scholars and enthusiasts to accurately preserve and disseminate millennia old Egyptian writing without relying on images or approximated characters.
