U+1376 "፶" Ethiopic Number Fifty is a numeric symbol used in the Ge'ez script, historically employed for writing Classical Ethiopic, Amharic, and Tigrinya. This character represents the number 50 as part of the Ethiopic numeral system, which combines distinct symbols for tens and units rather than using place value. The glyph’s design reflects the calligraphic style of the script, with a central cross-like shape and curved strokes, and it continues to be used in some modern liturgical and educational contexts in the Horn of Africa. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures digital preservation and representation of this ancient numeral tradition.
