U+1C53 "᱓" Ol Chiki Digit Three is part of the Ol Chiki script, which was specifically designed for writing the Santali language, an Austroasiatic language spoken primarily in parts of India, Bangladesh, and Nepal. This digit represents the numerical value three and is used in the same positional decimal system as other digits within the Ol Chiki block, which was added to the Unicode Standard in version 5.1 in 2008. The script itself was created by Pandit Raghunath Murmu in the 20th century to provide a distinct writing system for the Santali community, and this character helps preserve the cultural identity and numerical literacy of the language.
