U+104A3 "𐒣" Osmanya Digit Three Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𐒣
U+104A3 "𐒣" Osmanya Digit Three is a numerical symbol from the Osmanya script, which was created in the early 20th century by Osman Yusuf Kenadid to write the Somali language. This digit represents the number three in that writing system, which was designed to replace the Arabic script for Somali and features a unique set of characters for both letters and numbers. Although Osmanya gained official recognition, its use declined after the Latin alphabet was adopted for Somali in the 1970s, and the digit is now primarily preserved in historical and Unicode-based digital contexts, such as for text encoding and scholarly study.
