U+1B199 "𛆙" Nushu Character-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𛆙

U+1B199 "𛆙" Nushu Character-# is a glyph from the Nushu script, a unique syllabary historically created and used exclusively by women in the Jiangyong region of Hunan Province, China, to express private thoughts, poetry, and correspondence in a male dominated literary society. This specific character represents a phonetic syllable within that writing system, which is written vertically from top to bottom and right to left, with each symbol standing for a sound rather than a concept. Included in the Unicode Standard under the Nushu block, it helps preserve and digitize a vital aspect of women’s cultural heritage that was nearly lost during the 20th century.
