U+1B2CE "𛋎" Nushu Character-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𛋎

U+1B2CE "𛋎" Nushu Character-# is a 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 specific character, identified by its hexadecimal code point in the Unicode standard, represents one of the several hundred symbols in Nushu that were employed to transcribe the local Xiangnan Tuhua dialect. The script served as a secret means of communication and expression for women who were often denied formal education in Chinese characters, allowing them to share personal stories, emotions, and grievances through songs, letters, and embroidered texts. As part of the Nushu block added to Unicode in version 10.0 (2017), U+1B2CE contributes to the digital preservation of this endangered cultural heritage.
