U+AA58 "꩘" Cham Digit Eight Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+AA58 "꩘" Cham Digit Eight is a numerical symbol used in the Cham script, which is traditionally employed to write the Cham languages spoken by the Cham people in Cambodia, Vietnam, and other parts of Southeast Asia. This character represents the number eight and is part of a decimal digit system that was historically used for writing dates, accounting, and other numeric contexts within Cham manuscripts. While the Cham script itself is an abugida with origins tracing back to the Brahmic family of scripts, these digits serve as a distinct set of numerals that complement the script's consonants and vowel markers. The digit is encoded in the Unicode block for Cham script, which was added to support the preservation and digital representation of this endangered writing system.
