Unicode Block - Mayan Numerals

Mayan Numerals is a collection of twenty distinct glyphs used to represent the vigesimal (base-20) numerical system of the ancient Maya civilization, including a symbol for zero shaped like a shell, along with bars (five) and dots (one) arranged to form higher values. These characters are encoded for historical and scholarly purposes, enabling digital representation of Maya numerals in texts, inscriptions, and academic work, though they are largely of epigraphic and cultural interest rather than everyday computational use. The set also includes a special placeholder for an unspecified numeral, reflecting the flexibility of the Maya notation in calendrical and astronomical contexts.
