Unicode Version 17.0
๐งถ
U+109F6 "๐งถ" Meroitic Cursive Fraction One Twelfth is a script-specific numerical symbol from the Meroitic Cursive block, representing the fraction 1/12 in the ancient Nubian writing system used in the Kingdom of Kush. This character was part of a sophisticated numeric notation system employed for administrative and economic records, allowing scribes to denote precise fractional values in contexts like trade and taxation. Its inclusion in Unicode preserves a fragment of the Meroitic language, which remains only partially deciphered, and highlights the cultural and mathematical legacy of the civilization that flourished along the Nile between 300 BCE and 400 CE.
