Unicode Version 17.0

𛈪

U+1B22A "𛈪" Nushu Character-# is a unique glyph belonging to the Nushu script, a syllabic writing system historically created and used exclusively by women in the Jiangyong County of Hunan Province, China, to express their personal thoughts and feelings in a patriarchal society. This specific character, identified by its number sign placeholder, represents one of hundreds of standardized symbols that were encoded in Unicode to preserve this endangered cultural heritage. Nushu characters are typically written in a flowing, calligraphic style with slender strokes, and "𛈪" serves as a vital link to a once-secret tradition of female literacy and resistance that flourished from the 13th century into the modern era, though today only a handful of elderly practitioners remain fluent in the script.
