Unicode Version 17.0

𑁩

U+11069 "𑁩" Brahmi Digit Three is a numerical symbol from the ancient Brahmi script, representing the number three in the Brahmi numeral system, which was used in South Asia from roughly the 3rd century BCE onward. This digit is part of a larger set of Brahmi numerals that are crucial for understanding the historical development of written numbers in the Indian subcontinent, as the Brahmi script is the ancestor of many modern Indic scripts. Resembling a stylized, curved character rather than the familiar Arabic numeral "3", this digit appears in ancient inscriptions on stone and copper plates, often recording dates, quantities, or measurements in early Sanskrit and Prakrit texts. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for the digital preservation and accurate representation of these ancient writing systems in modern computing environments.
