U+1B22B "𛈫" Nushu Character-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𛈫

U+1B22B "𛈫" Nushu Character-# is a specific glyph from the Nushu script, a unique syllabary historically used exclusively by women in Jiangyong County, Hunan Province, China, to record songs, stories, and personal correspondence as an alternative to male dominated Chinese characters. This character represents a distinct phonetic or semantic value within the Nushu writing system, which comprises hundreds of glyphs derived from simplified Chinese characters and geometric shapes, written in long vertical lines. As a part of Unicode's Nushu block (U+1B170 to U+1B2FF), encoded in 2017 to support the preservation and digital use of this endangered cultural heritage, U+1B22B contributes to the ongoing documentation of a language that was once passed down secretly among women.
