U+13A0A "𓨊" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𓨊

U+13A0A "𓨊" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# is part of the Egyptian Hieroglyph Format Controls block, included in Unicode version 15.0 released in September 2022, and it represents a placeholder or generic sign for an unencoded Egyptian hieroglyph. This character is specifically intended for use in specialized texts where a hieroglyph is known to exist but has not yet been assigned its own unique code point, allowing scholars and digital text handlers to mark such gaps without resorting to missing character symbols. As a format control character, it helps maintain the integrity of transliteration and encoding work in Egyptology, particularly in digital archives and academic publications where precise representation of ancient Egyptian writing is required but where certain signs are still awaiting formal identification and encoding.
