Unicode Version 17.0

𔅭

U+1416D "𔅭" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# is a specific glyph from the Egyptian Hieroglyph script block, encoded in the Supplementary Multilingual Plane to support the digital representation of ancient Egyptian writing. This character corresponds to a particular hieroglyphic sign, which would have been used in classical Egyptian inscriptions to convey phonetic sounds or ideographic meanings within a word or phrase. Being part of the Gardiner sign list cataloging system, the exact sign is normally identified by a numeric code (indicated by the hash symbol in its name) rather than a common descriptive label, enabling scholars and software to accurately transcribe and study ancient texts. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that this historical symbol can be preserved, displayed, and processed across modern digital platforms for educational, research, and cultural heritage purposes.
