U+13344 "𓍄" Egyptian Hieroglyph U016 is a sign from the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic script, classified under the category of "miscellaneous items" and specifically representing a form of a mace or a club with a rounded head, often depicted with a long handle. This glyph is part of the Gardiner sign list, where U016 is typically associated with the phonetic value "h" or "ḫ" in certain contexts, though it primarily serves as a determinative to indicate concepts related to fighting, striking, or violence within Egyptian writing. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard as a character in the Egyptian Hieroglyphs block (U+13000–U+1342F) allows for the digital encoding and representation of this ancient symbol, which is attested in inscriptions from the Old Kingdom onward and reflects the material culture and iconography of ancient Egypt.
