𓮎

U+13B8E "𓮎" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# is a glyph from the Egyptian Hieroglyphs block in the Unicode standard, specifically classified as part of the extended repertoire used for encoding ancient Egyptian writing, though its exact phonetic or semantic value is often listed as unknown or unassigned in primary sources for this particular code point. This character falls within the range designated for Gardiner's sign list extensions, representing a visual symbol that would have been carved on temple walls, tomb inscriptions, or papyri, but without a definitive modern consensus on its specific meaning.
