𑿁

U+11FC1 "𑿁" Tamil Fraction One One-Hundred-and-Sixtieth is a numeral symbol used in the Tamil language to represent the fractional value of 1/160, and it belongs to the Tamil Supplement block of the Unicode standard. This glyph is part of a historical system of Tamil fractions that were traditionally employed in land measurement, accounting, and other practical calculations, particularly in medieval and early modern South India. The character encodes a very small unit, often used in contexts where precise subdivisions of larger quantities were necessary, such as in dividing a "vellvi" (a unit of area) or in intricate financial transactions. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for the digital preservation and accurate representation of these traditional Tamil numeric notations in modern computing.
