U+14068 "𔁨" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𔁨

U+14068 "𔁨" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# is part of the Egyptian Hieroglyph Extended-B block, which was added in Unicode version 15.0 in 2022 to encode a large set of older and rarer hieroglyphic signs from the ancient Egyptian writing system. This specific character represents a less common or specialized hieroglyph, often designated by a placeholder "#" in its name until a formal Gardiner code or scholarly identifier is assigned, and it functions as a graphic symbol used in the Egyptian script to convey sounds or ideas. The inclusion of such characters in Unicode helps preserve and allow digital representation of ancient texts, enabling global researchers and enthusiasts to communicate and study these historical scripts accurately in modern computing environments.
