𛇣

U+1B1E3 "𛇣" Nushu Character-# is a member of the Nushu script, a unique syllabic writing system historically created and used exclusively by women in the Jiangyong region of Hunan Province, China. This specific character represents a phonetic syllable within the Nushu repertoire, used to transcribe the local Xiangnan Tuhua dialect in a form of script that was traditionally written in vertical columns from right to left. The Nushu script, which includes this character, was often inscribed on fans, embroidered into textiles, or written in books known as "women's scripts," serving as a private medium for women to express their personal feelings, stories, and social commentary in defiance of the male dominated Confucian society that restricted their literacy in standard Chinese.
