Unicode Version 17.0

𛊝

U+1B29D "𛊝" Nushu Character-# is a specific glyph from the Nushu script, a syllabic writing system historically created and used exclusively by women in the Jiangyong county of Hunan province, China, to express their personal thoughts, songs, and stories in a society where formal education was often denied to them. This character represents one of approximately 600 to 1,000 unique symbols in the Nushu repertoire, which was primarily written in a calligraphic, slender style on silk, bamboo, or paper. The inclusion of this character in Unicode under the Nushu block, standardized in version 10.0 in 2017, helps preserve and digitally represent a rare linguistic heritage that faced near extinction in the 20th century. As a "#" placeholder, the specific meaning of "𛊝" is tied to its phonetic or semantic role within the Nushu system, often associated with a syllable or concept central to the women's coded communication.
