U+14090 "𔂐" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# Unicode Character

U+14090 "𔂐" Egyptian Hieroglyph-# is a sign from the Egyptian hieroglyphic script, a writing system used in ancient Egypt for religious texts, monumental inscriptions, and administrative records. This specific character belongs to the Egyptian Hieroglyphs block in Unicode, which was added to encode a range of signs from the Gardiner sign list and other scholarly sources, enabling digital representation of these historical symbols. Classified as a "saw" or "cutting tool" hieroglyph by Egyptologists, it depicts a flint knife or similar blade and functioned phonetically, logographically, or as a determinative in words related to cutting, sharpness, or sacrifice, reflecting its concrete origin in the material culture of the Nile Valley. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard supports modern research, archiving, and digital communication about ancient Egyptian language and civilization.
