Unicode Version 17.0

𛉑

U+1B251 "𛉑" 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 compose poetry and correspondence in their local dialect. This character represents a particular syllable or morpheme within the script, which is unique for its creation and use as a form of female empowerment and secret communication in a patriarchal society. The character was added to the Unicode Standard in version 10.0, released in June 2017, as part of the Nushu block, ensuring its digital preservation and enabling modern study and typing of this endangered writing system. Its exact phonetic value corresponds to a sound in the Xiangnan Tuhua dialect, though the precise reading of each character, including this one, can vary based on context and historical reconstruction.
