U+102E6 "𐋦" Coptic Epact Digit Six Unicode Character

U+102E6 "𐋦" Coptic Epact Digit Six is a numerical symbol used in the Coptic calendar system, specifically representing the number six in the epact series, which denotes the age of the moon at the start of a lunar year or the golden number cycle for calculating Easter. Part of the Coptic Epact Numbers block (U+102E0 to U+102FF) encoded in Unicode version 7.0 in 2014, this character derives from the ancient Coptic script, where epact digits were historically inscribed in manuscripts and liturgical texts to track lunar phases and feast dates. Unlike standard Coptic numerals, epact digits are distinct symbols that combine with other epact numbers to form dates, preserving a vital aspect of late antique and medieval Egyptian Christian computational tradition.
