Unicode Version 17.0

𔁎

U+1404E "𔁎" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# is a specific glyph from the Egyptian Hieroglyph block of the Unicode standard, assigned to represent a particular sign from the ancient Egyptian writing system used for sacred and monumental inscriptions. This character falls within the range designated for the Gardiner classification of hieroglyphs, though its exact identification is often dependent on the specific typographic encoding used in digital fonts. As part of the Unicode repertoire, it enables modern electronic text to render a complex, ideographic script that was historically carved in stone or written on papyrus, preserving the visual form of a symbol that could represent a phonogram, logogram, or determinative in the ancient language. Its inclusion in Unicode facilitates scholarly study, digital archiving, and the accurate representation of Egyptian texts in computing environments.
