U+1B2EE "𛋮" Nushu Character-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𛋮

U+1B2EE "𛋮" Nushu Character-# is a specific glyph from the Nüshu script, a unique syllabic writing system historically created and used exclusively by women in the Jiangyong region of Hunan Province, China. This script, which dates back several hundred years, was a secret means of communication for women who were often denied formal education in Chinese characters, allowing them to express their personal thoughts, emotions, and stories through poetic texts and correspondence. The character itself represents one of the many syllables in the Nüshu repertoire, typically transcribed phonetically rather than logographically, and its precise meaning depends on the context of the written work in which it appears. As part of the Unicode standard added in Version 10.0 (2017), this character helps preserve and digitally encode a critically endangered cultural heritage, as the script faces extinction with the passing of its last fluent elderly speakers.
