Unicode Version 17.0
U+1099 "႙" Myanmar Shan Digit Nine is a numeric symbol used primarily in the Shan language, which belongs to the Tai‑Kadai family and is spoken by the Shan people in Myanmar, as well as in parts of Thailand and China. This character represents the digit “9” within the Myanmar Extended‑A block, which was added to the Unicode standard to support the writing systems of ethnic languages in Myanmar, including Shan, Palaung, and others. Visually, it resembles a stylized form distinct from the standard Myanmar digits, often featuring a looped or curved shape that integrates with the Shan script’s aesthetic. In digital text, it is encoded for use in contexts where the Shan numeric system is required, such as in local education, historical documents, and cultural materials, ensuring that the language’s numerical representation remains consistent and accessible in modern computing environments.
