U+13FAB "𓾫" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𓾫

U+13FAB "𓾫" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# is a specific sign from the ancient Egyptian writing system, categorised under the Unicode block for Egyptian Hieroglyphs, which was added to the standard to enable digital representation of these historic symbols. This particular glyph, often identified by its Gardiner sign list number or described as a "hieroglyph-#," depicts a stylised image of a papyrus clump or a related vegetal motif, commonly used in Egyptian texts to represent concepts like the papyrus plant itself or, more abstractly, the term for "green" or "fresh" due to its connection with the verdant marshlands of the Nile. As part of the broader effort to preserve and make accessible the language of pharaonic Egypt, this character allows for the accurate encoding and rendering of ancient inscriptions in modern digital contexts, supporting scholarly work in Egyptology and linguistic research.
