Nushu Unicode Characters page 3

The Nushu block contains characters used in the Nushu script, which is an endangered writing system that was used exclusively by women in the Jiangyong County of Hunan Province, China. Nushu is unique as it was developed and used solely by women to communicate in a highly gender-segregated society. The script is syllabic, with each character representing a syllable in the local Chinese dialect. This block includes all known Nushu characters, reflecting the script’s cultural significance and the efforts to preserve this unique aspect of Chinese heritage..
