U+13FFE "ð“¿¾" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# Unicode Character
U+13FFE "ð“¿¾" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# is a relatively recent addition to the standard, belonging to the Egyptian Hieroglyphs Extended-A block which was introduced in Unicode version 16.0 released in September 2024. This specific glyph represents a late period hieroglyph, often used in Ptolemaic and Roman era texts, and its inclusion facilitates the digital representation and scholarly study of ancient Egyptian writing. The character is identified by the formal name "Egyptian Hieroglyph-#" with the hash symbol acting as a placeholder for its specific phonetic or semantic value, which is detailed in the official Unicode character database and associated transliteration tables. Its encoding allows researchers, linguists, and digital humanities projects to accurately preserve, publish, and analyze Egyptian texts without relying on image-based representations.
