𞴸

U+1ED38 "𞴸" Ottoman Siyaq Alternate Number Four Hundred is a numeral symbol from the Ottoman Siyaq numbering system, an alphanumeric script historically used in Ottoman Turkish financial and administrative documents to represent numbers. This specific character, part of the Unicode 14.0 standard released in 2021, encodes an alternate form of the number four hundred within the Siyaq notation, which employed distinct shapes and ligatures to prevent forgery in official records like tax ledgers and land registers. It belongs to the “Indic Siyaq Numbers” block, though its design reflects the Arabic-influenced calligraphic tradition of Ottoman bureaucracy, serving as a scholarly resource for historians and linguists studying pre-modern numeral systems.
