U+1B172 "ð›…²" Nushu Character-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ð›…²

U+1B172 "ð›…²" Nushu Character-# is a glyph from the Nushu script, a unique syllabic writing system historically used exclusively by women in the Hunan province of China to compose poetry, letters, and personal narratives, often as a means of private expression in a patriarchal society. This specific character belongs to the modern standard encoding of Nushu, which was added to Unicode in 2021 under the Nushu block to support the preservation and digital use of this endangered script. The character itself represents a syllabic sound rather than an abstract concept, and its inclusion in Unicode helps scholars and communities study, digitize, and revitalize a cultural heritage that was once nearly lost to time.
