U+1D2D3 "𝋓" Kaktovik Numeral Nineteen Unicode Character

U+1D2D3 "𝋓" Kaktovik Numeral Nineteen is a symbol in the Kaktovik numeral system, a base-20 notational system created by Iñupiaq students in Kaktovik, Alaska, in the 1990s to represent numbers in a way that is visually intuitive and suited for writing on paper. This specific glyph denotes the value nineteen, which in the Kaktovik system is constructed by combining a shape for the number ten with a separate marking for nine, reflecting the system's place-value and additive logic. The character was added to Unicode in version 15.0 to preserve and support the digital use of an indigenous numeric tradition that has been adopted for teaching mathematics in Iñupiaq communities.
