U+11057 "𑁗" Brahmi Number Six Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+11057 "𑁗" Brahmi Number Six is a numeral from the ancient Brahmi script, one of the earliest writing systems used in the Indian subcontinent, which laid the groundwork for many later South Asian scripts. This glyph specifically represents the number six in the Brahmi numeric system, which employed distinct symbols for digits, often derived from early Devanagari and Indian numeral traditions. The character is encoded in the Brahmi block of Unicode, added in version 6.0 released in 2010, to support the digital representation of historical texts and inscriptions. Its design typically consists of a curved or angular form characteristic of Brahmi script, reflecting the calligraphic style of stone carvings and manuscripts from around the 3rd century BCE to the 5th century CE.
