Unicode Version 17.0
ð‘¿Ž
U+11FCE "ð‘¿Ž" Tamil Fraction Three Sixteenths is a numeric symbol used in the Tamil script to represent the specific fractional value of three sixteenths, originating from traditional Tamil trade, measurement, and accounting systems that required precise notation for land area, grain volume, and currency subdivisions. This character belongs to the Tamil Supplement block, which encodes a variety of ancient and medieval Tamil fractional signs, and its standardized inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitally represent this historical numeric notation. It is distinct from common decimal fractions and reflects the unique base sixteen counting systems historically employed in South Indian commerce and mathematics.
