Unicode Version 17.0

𛊓

U+1B293 "𛊓" 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. This character represents one of hundreds of phonetic symbols that were employed to write the local Xiangnan Tuhua dialect, often in the form of poetry, letters, and embroidery patterns that conveyed personal emotions and experiences beyond the reach of male literacy. While its exact phonetic value corresponds to a particular syllable in that dialect, the Nushu script as a whole has been recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage. Digital inclusion of this character in the Unicode Standard, under the Supplementary Multilingual Plane, allows for its preservation and modern electronic representation, enabling scholars and descendants to study and transmit this unique female literary tradition.
