Unicode Version 17.0

𔅮

U+1416E "𔅮" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# is a specific sign from the Egyptian Hieroglyph script, part of the Unicode block Egyptian Hieroglyphs (range U+13000 to U+1342F), which was added to the standard primarily to encode texts from the ancient Egyptian language. This particular glyph, assigned a placeholder name with a hash symbol because its precise phonetic or semantic value remains unidentified in the core Unicode specification, represents one of many logographic or phonographic symbols used in monumental writing and religious inscriptions. It is typically rendered in specialized fonts that support the complex, pictorial nature of hieroglyphic characters, serving as a digital representation for scholarly work, digital preservation, or linguistic study of ancient Egyptian artifacts.
