U+1B23B "𛈻" Nushu Character-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1B23B "𛈻" Nushu Character-# is a specific glyph from the Nushu script, a unique phonetic syllabary historically used exclusively by women in the Jiangyong County of Hunan Province, China, to write their local Xiangnan Tuhua dialect. This particular character represents an individual syllable or word within that system, though its precise reading and meaning are often tied to the original handwritten texts where it appears, as Nushu characters were traditionally written in vertical columns on paper and fans. The inclusion of this character in Unicode ensures its digital preservation and accessibility, allowing for the study and revitalization of a script that served as a secret, female coded language of expression for centuries before being suppressed in the 20th century.
