U+137B "፻" Ethiopic Number Hundred Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
፻
U+137B "፻" Ethiopic Number Hundred is a numeral symbol from the Geʽez script, traditionally used to represent the value 100 in the Ethiopic numbering system, which is employed for writing numbers in languages such as Amharic, Tigrinya, and Geʽez itself. This character functions as a multiplicative digit, meaning it is often combined with other numerals to form larger numbers, for example appearing after a single digit to indicate multiples of a hundred. Unlike the decimal system's place value structure, Ethiopic numerals like ፻ operate within a more compact and non-dictionary-based numeric notation, reflecting the historical and cultural heritage of the Horn of Africa region.
