ð‘¿ž
U+11FDE "𑿞" Tamil Sign Panam is a historical monetary symbol used in the Tamil script to represent the concept of money, specifically the paṇam or fanam, a type of coin or unit of currency that circulated in parts of South India and Sri Lanka. This character belongs to the Tamil Supplement block, having been encoded to support the accurate representation of ancient and medieval Tamil inscriptions and documents where such scribal signs were employed. Visually, it resembles a stylized ligature or mark, distinct from standard Tamil letters, and its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve the textual authenticity of historical records relating to trade, taxation, and economics in the Tamil-speaking world.
