U+1D2E8 "𝋨" Mayan Numeral Eight Unicode Character

U+1D2E8 "𝋨" Mayan Numeral Eight is a glyph used to represent the number eight in the vigesimal base 20 counting system of the ancient Mayan civilization. Unlike the modern decimal system, Mayan numerals employed a combination of dots for units 1 through 4 and horizontal bars for groups of five, so the numeral eight would be depicted as three stacked dots above a single bar. This character is part of the Mayan Numerals block in Unicode, added to support digital representation and preservation of Mesoamerican historical writing and mathematics. Its inclusion allows scholars and enthusiasts to accurately typeset and display ancient Mayan numerical inscriptions in modern electronic documents.
