Unicode Version 17.0

𓾭

U+13FAD "𓾭" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# is a specific glyph from the Egyptian Hieroglyphs block, designated as a placeholder or generic hieroglyph symbol rather than a representation of a single known Egyptian word or sound. It belongs to the repertoire of characters encoded in Unicode version 12.0 (2019) to support the digital representation of ancient Egyptian writing, though its exact transliteration and usage in original texts vary depending on context. As a standardized character, it enables researchers and digital text projects to accurately reproduce and search for Egyptian inscriptions without losing the graphical nature of the sign.
