U+1B2A0 "𛊠" Nushu Character-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𛊠

U+1B2A0 "𛊠" Nushu Character-# is a glyph from the Nüshu script, a syllabic writing system historically used exclusively by women in the Jiangyong region of Hunan Province, China. This specific character represents a phonetic syllable within the script, which was employed to write the local Xiangnan Tuhua dialect, often for composing autobiographical songs, letters, and embroidered texts. Nüshu was traditionally transmitted among women who were denied formal education in Chinese characters, allowing them a private means of expression and communication. The inclusion of this character in Unicode helps preserve and digitally encode this unique cultural heritage, which faced near extinction in the 20th century but is now experiencing revitalization efforts.
