Unicode Version 17.0
൩
U+0D69 "൩" Malayalam Digit Three is a numeric symbol used within the Malayalam script to represent the number three, primarily in traditional contexts such as dates, page numbering, and other formal or written notations. It is encoded in the Unicode block for Malayalam, which covers the script of the Malayalam language spoken predominantly in the Indian state of Kerala. Unlike the standard Indo Arabic numeral "3," this digit is visually distinct, featuring a curved and circular design characteristic of many Malayalam numerals. While modern usage often employs Western digits, U+0D69 remains part of the Unicode standard to support historical texts, educational materials, and cultural preservation.
