Unicode Version 17.0

𓣘

U+138D8 "𓣘" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# is a specific glyph from the Egyptian Hieroglyphs block, formally categorized as an "Egyptian Hieroglyph-#" meaning it belongs to a set of placeholder or undocumented script characters that do not have a definitive known reading or transliteration assigned in the standard. This character is part of the extended repertoire of over a thousand hieroglyphs encoded in Unicode to support the scholarly transcription and digital representation of ancient Egyptian texts, particularly for those signs cataloged later in the Gardiner sign list or other specialized references. While its exact identity or phonetic value may not be universally recognized, its inclusion in the standard helps ensure that rare or unclassifiable hieroglyphic shapes can be preserved and exchanged in modern text systems without loss of fidelity.
