Unicode Version 17.0

ð›…³

U+1B173 "ð›…³" Nushu Character-# is a glyph from the Nushu script, a syllabic writing system historically created and used exclusively by women in the Jiangyong region of Hunan Province, China, to express their personal thoughts, emotions, and stories in a secret language that men were not taught. This specific character, encoded under the Unicode block for Nushu, is one of hundreds of standard signs that represent phonetic syllables within the script, which was passed down through generations primarily in embroidery, song, and handwritten texts on fans, handkerchiefs, and books. The inclusion of "ð›…³" in Unicode 11.0 in 2018 was a critical step in digitally preserving this endangered cultural heritage, allowing scholars, linguists, and descendants of Nushu users to study, display, and archive the script in modern computing environments.
