U+1372 "፲" Ethiopic Number Ten is a numeral used in the Ge'ez script, primarily for writing the Ethiopic or Ge'ez number system, which is still employed for liturgical texts and traditional numbering in languages like Amharic and Tigrinya. This symbol represents the decimal value of ten, and in the Ethiopic numeric system, numbers are constructed additively, so "፲" can be combined with other numeral characters to form multiples and sums, such as "፲፩" for eleven. Visually, it resembles a horizontal line with a small hook or curve at the right end, distinguishing it from other Ethiopic numerals like the character for one.
