U+1B278 "𛉸" Nushu Character-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1B278 "𛉸" Nushu Character-# is a rare and historically significant symbol from the Nushu script, a phonetic syllabary traditionally used exclusively by women in the Jiangyong region of Hunan province, China. This particular character represents a specific syllable or word within a writing system that was developed in secrecy to allow women to communicate, express emotions, and record personal stories despite being barred from formal education in classical Chinese. Encoded in Unicode's Supplementary Multilingual Plane, this character helps preserve a unique linguistic heritage that faced near extinction, with the last known fluent speaker dying in 2004. Its inclusion in the digital standard ensures that scholars and speakers can now study, document, and revitalize this endangered script for future generations.
