Unicode Version 17.0

𛈎

U+1B20E "𛈎" Nushu Character-# is a specific glyph from the Nüshu script, a unique syllabic writing system historically created and used exclusively by women in the Jiangyong region of Hunan Province, China. This character, like all Nüshu symbols, represents a phonetic value rather than a standalone word, allowing women to compose messages, poems, and stories in a secret language that was passed down through generations. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard helps preserve this endangered cultural heritage, enabling digital representation and study of a vital form of female expression that was often used to communicate personal emotions and experiences outside the bounds of conventional male dominated Chinese literacy.
