U+13AFD "𓫽" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# Unicode Character

U+13AFD "𓫽" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# is a code point in the Egyptian Hieroglyphs Extended-A block, specifically representing a stylized sign that depicts a vertical arrangement of two tassels or fringed appendages, often identified as the hieroglyphic symbol for the "w3ḥ" (or similar phonetic value) related to the ancient Egyptian concept of "to set" or "to place", though its exact function and reading in context can vary. This character was encoded as part of a major expansion in Unicode version 16.0 in September 2024, which added over 3,900 hieroglyphic signs to meet the needs of scholars and digital humanities projects aiming to accurately represent full texts from hieratic and monumental inscriptions. The sign itself is rarely used as a standalone item in modern environments outside specialized educational or archival contexts, but its inclusion helps preserve and render the intricate script of ancient Egyptian writing in a standardized digital form.
