Unicode Version 17.0

𛈤

U+1B224 "𛈤" Nushu Character-# is a specific glyph from the Nushu script, a syllabary historically used exclusively by women in the Jiangyong region of Hunan Province, China, to write a local dialect of Chinese. This particular character, identified by its unique numerical identifier, represents one of the hundreds of phonetic or semantic signs in the Nushu system, which was traditionally written in vertical columns from right to left. Inscribed on fans, embroidery, or handwritten in codex form, Nushu characters like U+1B224 encode the intimate thoughts, poetry, and personal narratives of women who were denied formal education in classical Chinese, making this character a vital component of a cultural heritage that was nearly lost but has seen renewed scholarly and preservation interest since its inclusion in the Unicode Standard for digital communication.
