Unicode Version 17.0

𛉾

U+1B27E "𛉾" Nushu Character-# is a specific glyph from the Nushu script, a unique syllabary historically used exclusively by women in the Jiangyong County of Hunan Province, China, to write a local dialect of Chinese. This character represents a phonetic syllable, though its exact reading and meaning depend on the context within Nushu texts, which were often composed as private correspondence, songs, or autobiographical narratives. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard as part of the Nushu block ensures that this endangered female script, once passed down secretly among women, can be digitally preserved and accessed for linguistic and cultural study in the modern era.
