U+110CD "" Kaithi Number Sign Above Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+110CD "" Kaithi Number Sign Above is a diacritical mark used in the Kaithi script, an historical writing system primarily employed for languages like Maithili, Magahi, and various Hindi-based vernaculars in northern India. This specific sign is placed above a numerical digit to indicate that the number should be interpreted as an ordinal, rather than a cardinal value, similar in function to the superscript "th" or "st" in English. Part of the Kaithi block in Unicode, this character helps preserve the distinct typographic and numeric conventions of the script, which was widely used for administrative and literary purposes before the 20th century.
