Egyptian

Glyph origin

Representing a man with his arms raised. This and other glyphs depicting men conventionally color the skin red; the hair is typically black, and the clothing white (sometimes with black outlines or details).

Symbol
  1. Determinative meaning "supplicate", such as in dwꜣ (β€œpraise”).
  2. Determinative meaning "hide", such as in sdgꜣ (β€œbe hidden”), and jmn (β€œhide”).

Usage notes
This glyph's usage is closely aligned with the usage of π“€’ (
). Compare also 𓀄 (
), which was similar in early depictions (before c. the 18th Dynasty, when that figure started to be depicted crouching behind a wall).
