Nüshu syllable sign liou33

𛆜 is a Nüshu syllable sign (literally “women’s writing”). Its Jiangyong reading is written in Latin letters as liou33. It can write homophones; context supplies meaning. Historically, women in Jiangyong, Hunan, adapted Chinese forms into a phonetic script for poems, sworn-sister letters and wedding gifts, amid limited classical schooling. Its origin is debated; the earliest known official reference dates to 1931. China recognized Nüshu as intangible cultural heritage in 2006.
