U+141A5 "𔆥" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# is a specific sign from the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic script, encoded in the Unicode Standard’s Egyptian Hieroglyphs block (range U+13000–U+1342F).

It appears as a square or rectangular block with an internal "X" or cross pattern, serving as a fallback or token for missing or unidentifiable symbols in digital text processing. Its inclusion in Unicode helps ensure that ancient Egyptian writing can be accurately stored, transmitted, and displayed in modern computing environments while preserving the script’s structural integrity.
