U+138F4 "ð“£´" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ð“£´

U+138F4 "ð“£´" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# is a part of the Egyptian Hieroglyphs block, specifically categorized under the Gardiner sign list as an unidentified or placeholder hieroglyph. This character belongs to the large range of Egyptian hieroglyphs encoded in Unicode to support the digital representation of ancient Egyptian writing, which was used from around 3200 BCE to 400 CE. While many hieroglyphs have known phonetic or logographic values corresponding to specific words or sounds, the hash sign (#) in its name indicates that this particular glyph currently lacks a clear, standard identification in the major classifications, often serving as a reference for a sign that has been documented but not yet fully deciphered or assigned a definitive reading. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that researchers and enthusiasts can preserve and digitally encode the full corpus of known hieroglyphic inscriptions, even for those signs whose meanings remain uncertain.
