"𓆫" meaning in Egyptian

Symbol

Forms: L7 [canonical]
Etymology: Representing a scorpion. The glyph as usually depicted lacks its tail and venomous stinger for superstitious reasons; this usage began in funerary texts in burial chambers but in time became standard. However, above-ground Old Kingdom examples typically show the scorpion intact, «L19». Some of the earliest (intact) depictions are shown in profile, with all the legs on the underside; later the legs were placed on both sides, representing a more top-down view.
