U+1091B "𐤛" Phoenician Number Three Unicode Character

U+1091B "𐤛" Phoenician Number Three is a numeric symbol from the Phoenician script, representing the number three in the ancient Semitic writing system used primarily by the Phoenician civilization around 1050 BCE. This character is part of the Phoenician block in Unicode, which was added to support the encoding of this historical script and its numeric notations. Unlike modern decimal numerals, the Phoenician number three is visually distinct from its letter forms, appearing as three horizontal or vertical strokes depending on the period, and it reflects the early development of numerical representation in the Mediterranean region. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for accurate digital preservation and study of Phoenician inscriptions and mathematical records.
