Unicode Version 17.0

𛋈

U+1B2C8 "𛋈" Nushu Character-# is a specific glyph from the Nüshu script, a unique syllabary historically used exclusively by women in Jiangyong County, Hunan Province, China, to express their thoughts and feelings in a secretive, feminine literary tradition. This character represents one of hundreds of distinct symbols in the Nüshu writing system, which was officially added to the Unicode Standard in version 10.0 (2017) as part of a dedicated Nushu block to preserve and digitize this endangered cultural heritage. The character itself is depicted as a stylized, abstract mark, combining curved and angular strokes typical of Nüshu, and while its exact pronunciation and meaning are tied to the local Xiangnan Tuhua dialect, it functions as a phonetic or semantic unit within written texts that often included poetry, letters, and autobiographical accounts.
