U+14006 "𔀆" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𔀆

U+14006 "𔀆" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# is a specific glyph within the Egyptian Hieroglyph block, which was added to the Unicode Standard to encode a highly detailed and systematic representation of ancient Egyptian writing. This particular character corresponds to a hieroglyph sign number that has not been publicly assigned a standard Gardiner code, as it falls under the category of "Egyptian Hieroglyph Format Controls" used for sign segmentation and layout in digital text. It was included to support academic and linguistic study of the script, allowing for precise reproduction of inscriptions from the pharaonic period. The character is visually rendered as a complex graphical symbol that would have been carved or painted in monumental and papyrus texts, representing a specific object or phonetic value from the extensive repertoire of over a thousand known hieroglyphs.
