Unicode Version 17.0

ð›…¿

U+1B17F "ð›…¿" Nushu Character-# is a specific glyph from the Nushu script, a syllabary historically used exclusively by women in the Jiangyong County area of Hunan Province, China. This particular character, identified solely by its code point and the placeholder “#” in its formal name, represents one of hundreds of unique symbols in the Nushu writing system, which was employed to compose poetry, letters, and personal narratives within a culture where women were often denied formal education in Chinese characters. The inclusion of this character in the Unicode Standard allows for its digital representation and preservation, helping to safeguard this endangered and culturally significant script, which UNESCO has recognized as a form of intangible cultural heritage. Though its precise phonetic or semantic value is not specified in the brief label, the character contributes to the ongoing global effort to document and revive Nushu.
