U+142B3 "𔊳" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# Unicode Character

U+142B3 "𔊳" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# is a specific glyph from the Egyptian Hieroglyph block, which encodes a sign from the ancient Egyptian writing system used primarily for monumental inscriptions. This particular character is associated with a standardized cataloging number, often representing a non-linguistic determinative or phonetic sign, though its precise meaning and transliteration in the context of hieroglyphic texts—such as those from the Old or Middle Kingdom periods—is determined by Egyptologists based on its shape and usage in surviving artifacts. As part of the Unicode standard, it enables digital representation and preservation of these historical symbols for academic study, documentation, and modern typographic use in specialized fonts.
