Unicode Version 17.0

𐅊

U+1014A "𐅊" Greek Acrophonic Attic Fifty Talents is an ancient numerical symbol from the Greek acrophonic number system, specifically used in Attic (Athenian) inscriptions to represent the value of fifty talents, a large unit of currency or weight. This character is part of the Ancient Greek Numbers block in Unicode, and its design is derived from the initial letter of the Greek word for fifty, reflecting the acrophonic principle where the first letter of a numeral's name stood for that number. Historically, such symbols were employed in financial records, tax documents, and legal decrees in classical Athens, offering insight into the economic and administrative practices of the ancient Greek world. The glyph itself resembles a stylized version of the Greek letter pi with a horizontal bar, though its precise visual representation can vary by font.
