Unicode Version 17.0

𛊼

U+1B2BC "𛊼" Nushu Character-# is a glyph from the Nushu script, a unique syllabary historically used exclusively by women in the Jiangyong region of China's Hunan Province to write their local Xiangnan Tuhua dialect. This specific character represents an unknown or unassigned phonetic value within the Nushu inventory, as the script’s approximately 600 to 700 characters were often tailored to individual users and have not been fully deciphered. Preserved in the Unicode Standard under the Nushu block, this character stands as a digital testament to a rare, gender-specific writing system that flourished in secrecy from the 19th century until the early 20th century, offering a poignant link to women’s cultural expression and resistance in a patriarchal society.
