𓲘

U+13C98 "𓲘" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# is part of the Egyptian Hieroglyphs block, which was added to the Unicode Standard in 2009 with version 5.2 to encode a subset of the ancient Egyptian writing system. This specific character represents a single glyph from the extensive repertoire of hieroglyphic signs, which were used primarily for religious texts, monumental inscriptions, and administrative records in ancient Egypt. While the exact semantic value or phonetic reading of this particular hieroglyph is not specified by its Unicode designation, it is among the many signs that scholars decode based on context, typically depicting objects, animals, or abstract symbols that could function as logograms, determinatives, or phonograms. The inclusion of such characters in Unicode allows for digital representation and study of Egyptian hieroglyphs, supporting modern research and preservation of this historically significant script.
