U+111EB "𑇫" Sinhala Archaic Number Twenty Unicode Character

U+111EB "𑇫" Sinhala Archaic Number Twenty is a historical numerical symbol from the Sinhala script, used primarily in ancient and medieval inscriptions on stone and copper plates in Sri Lanka. This character represents the number twenty as part of a larger system of archaic numerals, which were distinct from the modern Sinhala digit set and often employed in administrative and religious records. Unlike modern positional notation, these numbers were additive and did not include a zero, with twenty being a stand alone symbol rather than a combination of two tens. Its inclusion in Unicode preserves an important aspect of Sri Lankan epigraphic heritage for digital text and scholarly study.
