U+13F5E "𓽞" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𓽞

U+13F5E "𓽞" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# is a specific glyph from the Egyptian Hieroglyphs Extended-A block, which was added in Unicode version 16.0 in 2024 to represent a previously unencoded sign from the ancient Egyptian writing system. This particular character is catalogued in the Egyptological repertoire as a variant or supplementary sign, often associated with Gardiner’s sign list categories related to vertical strokes or counting marks, though its exact semantic value depends on its use in specific textual contexts. Its inclusion allows for more precise digital encoding of Egyptian texts, aiding scholars in accurately recording and analyzing the language and script of ancient Egypt without relying on the placeholder term “Egyptian Hieroglyph-#” for an unnamed sign.
