Unicode Version 17.0

𛊨

U+1B2A8 "𛊨" Nushu Character-# is a single glyph from the Nushu script, a unique syllabary historically used exclusively by women in the Jiangyong region of Hunan Province, China. This character represents one of the hundreds of delicate, curvilinear symbols that formed a secret written language, allowing women to communicate, express emotions, and share stories in a society where they were often denied formal education in Chinese characters. Enshrined in the Unicode Standard, this particular Nushu character serves as a digital preservation of a rare and culturally significant linguistic heritage, helping to ensure that this once endangered female specific script remains accessible for study and transmission in the modern world.
