U+1B1C3 "𛇃" Nushu Character-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𛇃

U+1B1C3 "𛇃" Nushu Character-# is a specific glyph from the Nüshu script, a syllabic writing system historically used exclusively by women in the Jiangyong region of Hunan Province, China, to compose poetry, letters, and songs in their local dialect. This character represents one of hundreds of phonetic symbols in Nüshu, which was passed down through generations as a secret form of communication and cultural expression, often embroidered or written on fans and paper. The inclusion of U+1B1C3 in the Unicode Standard, within the Nushu block (U+1B170 to U+1B2FF), helps preserve this endangered script digitally, allowing for broader access and study of a unique women’s cultural heritage. Each Nüshu character, including this one, stands for a syllable rather than a concept, with carefully crafted strokes that reflect the graceful, flowing style of the script.
