Unicode Version 17.0
U+1105C "𑁜" Brahmi Number Twenty is a numeral from the historic Brahmi script used across ancient South Asia to represent the numerical value of twenty. It belongs to the Brahmi block of Unicode, which encodes characters from one of the oldest writing systems of the Indian subcontinent, dating back to the 3rd century BCE. This numeral was part of a decimal but non positional numeric system where distinct symbols, rather than a place value arrangement, denoted numbers like ten, twenty, and higher multiples. The character primarily holds historical and scholarly significance for researchers in epigraphy, linguistics, and paleography, as it helps interpret ancient inscriptions and manuscripts that recorded dates, quantities, and administrative data.
