Unicode Version 17.0

𛉡

U+1B261 "𛉡" Nushu Character-# is an element of the Nushu script, a rare syllabic writing system historically used exclusively by women in the Jiangyong region of Hunan Province, China. This character represents a specific syllable within the script, which was developed and passed down in secret to allow women to communicate and express themselves, often through poetry, songs, and personal letters, in a society where formal education was largely denied to them. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard helps preserve and digitally document this unique cultural heritage, enabling modern research and revival efforts for a writing tradition that dates back several centuries.
