Unicode Version 17.0

𛉔

U+1B254 "𛉔" Nushu Character-# is a specific logogram from the Nushu script, a phonetic syllabary historically created and used exclusively by women in the Jiangyong region of Hunan Province, China, to express themselves in a private written language often passed down through generations. This character, like others in the Nushu block, represents a syllable used to write the local Xiangnan Tuhua dialect, and its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitally encode a unique cultural heritage that was nearly lost due to suppression and declining usage. The character's form, with its graceful, linear strokes, reflects the distinctive aesthetic of Nushu, which is distinct from Chinese characters and was traditionally written in books, fans, and embroidered textiles as a form of intimate female communication.
