U+140AD "𔂭" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𔂭

U+140AD "𔂭" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# is a specific symbol from the Egyptian Hieroglyph block, introduced in Unicode version 5.2 as part of the effort to digitally encode ancient Egyptian writing. This particular character represents a hieroglyphic sign, but its exact phonetic or semantic meaning is not directly defined by Unicode itself, which only assigns it a numerical code point and a generic name based on its slot in the Gardiner sign list. In practice, scholars and software use such encoded hieroglyphs to transcribe, study, and preserve texts from ancient Egyptian monuments and papyri, facilitating digital research into one of the world's oldest written languages.
