𐅬
U+1016C "𐅬" Greek Acrophonic Epidaurean Five Hundred is a numeral symbol from the ancient Greek acrophonic numeration system, specifically used in the city of Epidaurus, where it represented the value 500. Acrophonic numerals derived their forms from the first letter of the word for the number, so this character originates from the Greek letter pi (Π), the initial of "pente" meaning five, combined with a marking to denote the hundredfold quantity. It belongs to the Ancient Greek Numbers Unicode block and is a historical writing symbol, preserved for digital encoding to support the study of epigraphy and ancient accounting records from the classical Greek world.
