U+109F8 "𐧸" Meroitic Cursive Fraction Three Twelfths Unicode Character

U+109F8 "𐧸" Meroitic Cursive Fraction Three Twelfths is a numerical symbol from the Meroitic script, which was used in the ancient Kingdom of Kush in Nubia between roughly the 3rd century BCE and the 5th century CE. This specific glyph represents the fraction three twelfths, equivalent to one quarter or 0.25, and is part of a larger system of cursive numerical notation employed for administrative and commercial purposes. The character is encoded in the Supplementary Multilingual Plane under the Meroitic Cursive block, preserving a key example of how ancient Nubian scribes expressed fractional values in a flowing, handwritten style distinct from the earlier Meroitic hieroglyphs.
