Unicode Version 17.0

𛊵

U+1B2B5 "𛊵" 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 particular character represents an individual syllable within the Nushu repertoire, which was developed as a secret form of communication to express personal feelings, stories, and songs in a society where women were denied formal education in Chinese characters. The inclusion of this character in the Unicode standard ensures its preservation and digital representation, allowing modern researchers and descendants to study, type, and share this unique cultural heritage. As part of the Nushu block encoded in Unicode version 10.0 in 2017, U+1B2B5 contributes to the broader effort of documenting and revitalizing a nearly extinct script that offers invaluable insight into the lives and creativity of historical Chinese women.
