U+13C8F "" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+13C8F "" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# is a specific sign within the Egyptian Hieroglyphs block, representing a ligature of two seated male figures commonly grouped under Gardiner's sign list as a determinative for plurality or collective nouns involving men, such as "people" or "troops." This character encodes a logogram or determinative used in ancient Egyptian writing to indicate the word for "men" or to modify terms related to groups of male individuals. As part of the broader hieroglyphic repertoire, it appears in religious, funerary, and administrative texts from the Old Kingdom through the Ptolemaic period, rendered in a stylized form of two kneeling or seated male figures side by side. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures modern digital representation and study of this ancient script, preserving a key element of Egyptian philology for linguists, historians, and enthusiasts.
