U+13C64 "𓱤" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# is a specific grapheme within the Egyptian Hieroglyph Extended-A block, designed to represent a placeholder or generic numeric sign used in digital transcriptions of ancient Egyptian texts.

Its inclusion in Unicode allows for the accurate representation and study of fragmented or unclassified inscriptions, aiding in the preservation and analysis of the ancient writing system.
