Unicode Version 17.0

𔋨

U+142E8 "𔋨" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# is a specific sign from the ancient Egyptian writing system, encoded in the Unicode Standard to represent a particular hieroglyphic glyph used primarily for religious, monumental, and administrative texts. This character belongs to the Egyptian Hieroglyphs block (U+13000 to U+1342F), which was added to Unicode to facilitate digital representation and analysis of these historic symbols. As a "hieroglyph" with a generic label (#) rather than a fully identified transliteration or meaning, U+142E8 remains a placeholder for a specific visual sign, likely a logogram or determinative, whose precise function in ancient Egyptian language or iconography may require further scholarly identification or contextual interpretation.
