U+1B256 "𛉖" Nushu Character-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𛉖

U+1B256 "𛉖" 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 write a local dialect of Chinese. This character, like all Nushu script characters, represents a syllable rather than a single concept, and its precise pronunciation and meaning depend on the context of the written text, often used for personal correspondence, poetry, or storytelling. Encoded in Unicode’s Supplementary Multilingual Plane, it helps preserve and digitally standardize this unique cultural heritage, which once faced near extinction and is now revitalized through scholarly and community efforts.
