𓯦

U+13BE6 "𓯦" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# is a specific glyph from the Egyptian Hieroglyphs Extended-A block, which was introduced in Unicode version 16.0 to represent a distinct sign or combination of signs used in ancient Egyptian writing. This particular character, like others in its block, is part of a larger effort to encode a wide range of hieroglyphs that appear in texts from the Old Kingdom through the Ptolemaic period, enabling more accurate digital representation and scholarly study of the Egyptian language.
