Unicode Version 17.0

𓵕

U+13D55 "𓵕" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# is a specific symbol from the Egyptian Hieroglyphs block in the Unicode standard, representing a hieroglyphic sign cataloged in the extended library of ancient Egyptian writing. This particular character, part of the subset of hieroglyphs used in religious, monumental, and administrative texts, depicts a stylized figure or object that scholars have assigned a unique Gardiner-style code or classification to distinguish it from thousands of other signs. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for the digital representation and preservation of ancient Egyptian language, enabling researchers, linguists, and enthusiasts to accurately transcribe and share inscriptions in modern electronic documents. The glyph itself is rendered in a standardized format that echoes the original carved or painted forms found on tomb walls and papyrus scrolls, contributing to ongoing efforts in Egyptology and digital humanities to study and disseminate this historic writing system.
