Unicode Version 17.0
𐅲
U+10172 "𐅲" Greek Acrophonic Thespian Five Thousand is an ancient numeric symbol representing the value of five thousand in the acrophonic numeral system used in the Greek region of Thespiae. Derived from the initial letter of the Greek word for "five" (pente) combined with the sign for "thousand," this character belongs to the Ancient Greek Numbers block and was used in inscriptions to denote large monetary sums or quantities, particularly in public records and accounting on stone or metal. Its inclusion in Unicode preserves a specific artifact of local Greek numerical notation, distinct from the more common Attic or Milesian systems, reflecting the diversity of pre-Hellenistic accounting practices.
