U+1B297 "𛊗" Nushu Character-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𛊗

U+1B297 "𛊗" Nushu Character-# is a glyph representing an unidentified or placeholder sign within the Nushu script, a syllabary historically used exclusively by women in the Jiangyong region of Hunan Province, China, to compose poetry and correspondence in their local dialect. As part of the Nushu block encoded in the Supplementary Multilingual Plane, this specific character remains untranslated, marked by a number sign in its official name to indicate that its precise phonetic or semantic value has not been formally documented or assigned. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve a rare and endangered writing system that symbolizes female resistance and cultural expression against patriarchal constraints, even as many of its characters await deeper scholarly decipherment.
