U+1105B "𑁛" Brahmi Number Ten Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1105B "𑁛" Brahmi Number Ten is a numerical symbol used in the ancient Brahmi script, one of the earliest writing systems of the Indian subcontinent, which dates back to the 3rd century BCE. This character represents the numerical value ten and belongs to the Brahmi block of Unicode, which was encoded to preserve and digitally support the historic script. It is typically used in inscriptions and manuscripts where Brahmi numerals appear, often alongside other numerical signs to form larger numbers. The symbol itself is a single, compact glyph that, like many Brahmi numerals, may have derived from earlier counting marks or graphical conventions used in trade and administration. Its inclusion in Unicode helps scholars, linguists, and digital archivists accurately reproduce ancient texts and study the evolution of numeric notation in South Asia.
