U+0D58 "൘" Malayalam Fraction One One-Hundred-and-Sixtieth Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+0D58 "൘" Malayalam Fraction One One-Hundred-and-Sixtieth is a numeric typographic symbol from the Malayalam script block used to represent the fraction 1/160 in traditional Malayalam weight and measurement systems, such as those for gold or agricultural produce, where small fractional units were historically required for precise calculations. It belongs to a larger set of ancient fraction signs that were encoded in Unicode to preserve the script's historical numeral heritage, complementing more common Malayalam digits and other fractional characters like 1/320 and 1/80. As a rare glyph, it is supported only by certain modern fonts and text systems that include extended Indic script coverage, serving as a digital bridge to pre-decimal trading and accounting practices in Kerala, India.
