The ancient Egyptian Hare hieroglyph, Gardiner sign listed no. E34 (𓃹) is a portrayal of the desert hare or Cape hare, Lepus capensis of Egypt, within the Gardiner signs for mammals. The ancients used the name of sekhat for the hare.Schumann-Antelme, and Rossini, 1998. Illustrated Hieroglyphics Handbook, biliteral: B80, p. 232-233.

The biliteral expresses the sound "oon", or "oonen",;Schumann-Antelme, and Rossini, 1998, p. 232-233, p. 232. it is also an ideogram for the verb "to be", or "to exist",Schumann-Antelme, and Rossini, 1998, p. 232-233, p. 232. (i.e. "is", "are", "was", etc.).

The famous Pharaoh Unas, (for his Pyramid texts), is named using the hare hieroglyph. It also appears in the name of Wenamun, a (possibly fictional) priest who appears in a famous history of c. 1000 BCE.
