U+109E9 "𐧩" Meroitic Cursive Number Sixty Thousand Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𐧩

U+109E9 "𐧩" Meroitic Cursive Number Sixty Thousand is a numeric symbol from the Meroitic Cursive script, which was used in the Kingdom of Kush (ancient Nubia) between approximately the 3rd century BCE and the 4th century CE to write the Meroitic language. This character represents the specific numerical value of sixty thousand, forming part of a sophisticated decimal numeric system that combined units for tens, hundreds, thousands, and higher multiples. In Meroitic Cursive, numbers were typically written in a right-to-left order, and such large numerals were used primarily for administrative, economic, and monumental inscriptions. The character itself resembles a stylized ligature or cursive symbol, distinct from the more angular Meroitic Hieroglyphic numerals, and its inclusion in Unicode supports the preservation and digital study of this relatively undeciphered ancient script.
