U+13661 "𓙡" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# Unicode Character

U+13661 "𓙡" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# is a specific sign from the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic script, part of the "Egyptian Hieroglyphs" block (range U+13000 to U+1342F) which was added to the Unicode standard in version 5.2 (2009) to enable digital representation of this historic writing system. Its official name includes a placeholder "#" because Unicode encodes many hieroglyphs without individual descriptive names, often using Gardiner's sign list codes for precise identification. The glyph itself visually represents a stylized object or figure, likely a common tool, animal part, or symbolic element used in Egyptian monumental inscriptions for religious, administrative, or funerary texts. This encoding allows researchers, linguists, and enthusiasts to digitally store, share, and analyze the rich linguistic and cultural heritage of ancient Egypt without relying on specialized font systems or images.
