U+10F20 "𐼠" Old Sogdian Number Four Unicode Character

U+10F20 "𐼠" Old Sogdian Number Four is a numeral used in the ancient Sogdian script, which was employed to write the Sogdian language, an Eastern Iranian language spoken in Central Asia along the Silk Road from roughly the 4th to the 8th centuries CE. This character specifically represents the number four in the Sogdian numeral system, appearing alongside other digits in inscriptions and texts that facilitated trade, communication, and record keeping in Sogdian merchant communities.
