Representing a cut block of stone or brick. The dimension of the sign varies, and it may be written long like 𓈙 (
), with which it should not be confused, although it was often written shorter to distinguish it. The stone glyph conventionally colored either white (in many examples, representing a whitish stone such as limestone), or blue (in other examples, perhaps representing a mud-brick—as Egyptian scribes generally used a limited color palette that did not include grey or brown—or a block of dark stone such as basalt or greywacke).
