U+1B264 "𛉤" Nushu Character-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𛉤

U+1B264 "𛉤" Nushu Character-# is a specific glyph from the Nushu script, a syllabic writing system historically used exclusively by women in the Jiangyong region of Hunan Province, China, to compose poetry, letters, and personal narratives away from the male-dominated literary culture. This character represents one of over 400 extant Nushu symbols, each encoding a syllable or morpheme of the local Xiangnan Tuhua dialect, and was included in Unicode version 15.0 (released in September 2022) under the Nushu block (U+1B170 to U+1B2FF) to preserve and support digital documentation of this endangered script. Its exact pronunciation and meaning depend on the specific literary context, as Nushu characters often have multiple readings tied to their poetic or epistolary usage, but it serves as a tangible link to a unique women's cultural heritage that flourished from the 19th century until the early 21st century.
