𓱪

U+13C6A "𓱪" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# is a specific glyph from the Egyptian Hieroglyphs Extended-A block, representing a numeral sign rather than a phonetic or ideographic hieroglyph. This character functions as a shorthand marker for numbers in ancient Egyptian texts, where it would typically accompany other hieroglyphic symbols to denote quantities or counts. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard allows for the accurate digital representation and preservation of numerical notations found in inscriptions and papyri, contributing to the study of Egyptian mathematics and administrative records. As part of a specialized extension set, it underscores the effort to encode the full diversity of hieroglyphic writing for modern computational use.
