Unicode Version 17.0

𔏣

U+143E3 "𔏣" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# is a part of the Egyptian Hieroglyphs block, which was added to the Unicode Standard to encode a vast array of symbols used in ancient Egyptian writing. This specific glyph represents one of the many logographic and phonetic signs from the hieroglyphic script, though its precise meaning or transliteration is not assigned a simple English name, as indicated by the "#" placeholder in its label. It is one of thousands of hieroglyphs that scholars use to study the language, religion, and daily life of ancient Egypt, and its inclusion in Unicode enables digital representation and exchange of these historical texts across modern computer systems.
