The ancient Egyptian hare hieroglyph is a portrayal of an Egyptian desert hare, which the Egyptians called sekhat. This hieroglyph expresses the sound "oon" or "oonen"; it is also a symbol (ideogram) for the verb "to be" or "to exist". The written name of famous Pharaoh Unas also uses the hare hieroglyph.
