Unicode Version 17.0

𐩅

U+10A45 "𐩅" Kharoshthi Number Twenty is a numeral from the ancient Kharoshthi script, which was used primarily in parts of modern-day Pakistan and Afghanistan from around the 3rd century BCE to the 4th century CE. This specific character represents the numerical value of twenty, formed by combining two distinct marks to indicate a base twenty counting system. It belongs to the Kharoshthi block of the Unicode standard, which was added to support historical texts, particularly those from the Gandharan Buddhist tradition and other inscriptions found on coins and manuscripts. The character is visually distinct, resembling a stylized cross or X shape with additional strokes, and its encoding helps preserve the digital representation of this early South Asian writing system for scholarly research and archival purposes.
