U+109E4 "𐧤" Meroitic Cursive Number Ten Thousand Unicode Character

U+109E4 "𐧤" Meroitic Cursive Number Ten Thousand is a numeral from the Meroitic Cursive script, which was used in the ancient Kingdom of Kush (present-day Sudan) between roughly the 2nd century BCE and the 5th century CE. This character represents the numerical value of ten thousand and is part of a decimal numeric system that combined signs for powers of ten with units. Unlike the more monumental Meroitic Hieroglyphs, the cursive version of the script was used for everyday writing, such as accounts and legal documents, where efficient notation of large numbers was necessary. The inclusion of this numeral in Unicode helps preserve and enable digital research into the Meroitic language and the economic life of a significant ancient African civilization.
