𐅫

U+1016B "𐅫" Greek Acrophonic Thespian Three Hundred is an ancient numeric symbol used in the acrophonic numeral system of ancient Greece, specifically representing the number 300. This system, known as the Attic or Herodianic numerals, derived its symbols from the first letters of the words for numbers, and "Thespian" refers to its association with the Boeotian region of Thespiae. The character was employed for counting and recording quantities, particularly for large sums in inscriptions and financial documents, reflecting a notation method that predated the more common alphabetic Greek numerals. As part of the Unicode Standard, it preserves a piece of historical numerical notation for modern digital text representation.
