Unicode Version 17.0

𛉓

U+1B253 "𛉓" Nushu Character-# is a glyph from the Nüshu script, a syllabic writing system historically created and used exclusively by women in Jiangyong County, Hunan Province, China. This script, which dates back several centuries, was developed as a secret form of communication to express personal feelings and stories in a society where women were often denied formal education in Chinese characters. Representing a specific syllable or word, this character is part of a larger repertoire of around 600 to 700 distinct symbols that encode the local Xiangnan Tuhua dialect. The inclusion of this character in Unicode, under the Nushu block in Plane 1, ensures its digital preservation and accessibility for historical, linguistic, and cultural study.
