U+1B2AF "𛊯" Nushu Character-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𛊯

U+1B2AF "𛊯" Nushu Character-# is a specific glyph from the Nushu script, a syllabic writing system historically created and used exclusively by women in the Jiangyong region of Hunan Province, China. This character, designated as a Nushu character with an unspecified phonetic value represented by the "#" placeholder, belongs to the Nushu block of the Unicode Standard, which was added to digitally preserve this endangered script. Nushu was traditionally written in slender, graceful strokes on fans, paper, or embroidered into textiles, and it was used to express personal emotions, tell stories, and communicate secretly among women who were barred from formal education in classical Chinese. The inclusion of U+1B2AF in Unicode helps ensure that this unique cultural heritage, once passed down orally and through handwritten texts, can be displayed, studied, and shared on modern digital platforms.
