Unicode Version 17.0

𜸆

U+1CE06 "𜸆" White Vertical Rectangle with Horizontal Bar is a symbol encoded in the Supplementary Multilingual Plane, specifically within the range of the Meroitic Hieroglyphs block, or a similar ancient script block, though its precise classification can vary. This glyph resembles a thin, upright rectangle intersected by a single horizontal line, creating a form akin to an ankh or a cross-like shape without vertical extensions. It may serve as a logographic or phonetic component in the writing system of the Kingdom of Kush, used to represent a specific word, sound, or grammatical element in the Meroitic language. Researchers interpret such characters through surviving inscriptions, but many details of their exact usage and meaning remain uncertain due to the limited corpus and linguistic gaps in understanding this ancient script.
