U+13F8E "𓾎" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# is a specific sign from the extended repertoire of Egyptian hieroglyphs, classified under the Unicode block for Egyptian Hieroglyphs (range U+13000–U+1342F). This character, assigned the provisional label "Egyptian Hieroglyph-#" because its exact phonetic or semantic value is not yet standardized in the Unicode name, represents a unique graphic symbol used in ancient Egyptian writing. It belongs to a set of lesser‑used or specialized hieroglyphs that expand beyond the core Gardiner sign list, often employed for obscure words, royal names, or religious texts.
