Unicode Version 17.0
𑿃
U+11FC3 "𑿃" Tamil Fraction One Sixty-Fourth is a numeric symbol from the Tamil script block, specifically representing the fraction 1/64 in the ancient Tamil measuring system for agricultural and trade calculations. This character, encoded in March 2019 as part of Unicode Version 12.0, was added to preserve historical Tamil mathematics and epigraphy, allowing scholars and linguists to digitally represent fractional values that were once used in land surveys, grain measurements, and commodity pricing in Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that these traditional symbols remain accessible for modern digital text, research, and cultural heritage documentation, despite being largely obsolete in contemporary daily use.
