Unicode Version 17.0

𓵯

U+13D6F "𓵯" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# is a symbol from the Egyptian Hieroglyph block, specifically designated as a standardized placeholder for a nonspecific hieroglyph when a particular sign is not available or unknown in digital text. Its official name includes the hash symbol to indicate it represents a generic or undetermined glyph, rather than a specific historical symbol from ancient Egyptian writing. This character allows scholars and digital typographers to denote a missing or unidentified hieroglyph within a sequence, preserving the structure of the text without assuming a precise meaning. It is part of the Egyptian Hieroglyphs Unicode block, which was added to the standard in 2009 to support the encoding of over a thousand ancient Egyptian signs for modern academic and computing use.
