U+139E6 "𓧦" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# is a specific sign from the extended Egyptian Hieroglyph repertoire included in Unicode’s Egyptian Hieroglyphs block, which covers symbols from the ancient Egyptian writing system used for monumental inscriptions and religious texts. This particular glyph, identified by the Gardiner code G7A, depicts a vulture or a similar avian figure and was typically employed as a determinative or phonetic component in hieroglyphic writing, contributing to the spelling of words related to concepts such as motherhood, protection, or the goddess Nekhbet.
