U+1B195 "𛆕" Nushu Character-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𛆕

U+1B195 "𛆕" Nushu Character-# is a specific glyph within the Nushu script, a syllabary historically created and used exclusively by women in the Jiangyong region of Hunan Province, China, to write their local Xiangnan Tuhua dialect. This character represents a particular syllable or morpheme in that language, and while its precise phonetic value is often designated by a number in standardized databases due to the script's complex encoding, it forms part of a rare and culturally significant writing system that served as a secret means of communication, expression, and record keeping for women in a patriarchal society. The inclusion of this character in the Unicode Standard under the Supplementary Multilingual Plane ensures its digital preservation and facilitates scholarly study, linguistic documentation, and the revitalization of Nushu, which was nearly lost in the 20th century.
