U+13B1A "𓬚" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𓬚

U+13B1A "𓬚" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# is a specific glyph from the Egyptian Hieroglyphs block, officially designated as a placeholder or unknown sign, as indicated by its descriptive name "Egyptian Hieroglyph-#." This character was included in the Unicode Standard to represent a hieroglyphic symbol whose exact meaning or transliteration has not been definitively identified or assigned, serving as a fallback for cases where a distinct hieroglyph is needed but not yet cataloged with a specific Gardiner sign number or phonetic value. It occupies a position in the range reserved for the "Egyptian Hieroglyphs" block (U+13000 to U+1342F), which was added in Unicode version 5.2, and it helps ensure that unknown or newly discovered characters can be encoded without ambiguity in digital text and scholarly communication.
