U+13DFE "𓷾" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# Unicode Character

U+13DFE "𓷾" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# is a less common hieroglyph from the Egyptian Hieroglyphs Extended-A block, which was added to the standard to represent signs from the Middle Kingdom and later periods of the ancient Egyptian writing system. This specific glyph likely depicts a stylized object or concept, possibly a vessel, basket, or structural element, as is typical of many hieroglyphic signs used in religious, administrative, or funerary texts. While detailed phonetic or semantic values for this rare sign are not always certain, its inclusion in Unicode ensures that scholars and digital historians can accurately encode and reproduce Egyptian inscriptions without relying on modern graphical substitutes.
