Unicode Version 17.0
U+10149 "𐅉" Greek Acrophonic Attic Ten Talents is a numeral symbol from the ancient Greek acrophonic number system, used in Athens and other Attic regions before the adoption of the more familiar alphabetic numerals. This character represents the value of ten talents, a large unit of currency or weight equivalent to approximately 26 kilograms of silver or gold. The symbol itself is derived from the initial Greek letter tau (Τ), the first letter of the word "talent" (τάλαντον), and it belongs to a broader class of acrophonic numerals where the initial sound of the unit's name formed the basis of its notation. Inscription evidence shows that this numeral was employed in financial records, tribute lists, and public contracts to denote substantial sums, reflecting the economic scale of ancient Athenian state expenses and trade.
