Unicode Block - Rumi Numeral Symbols

Rumi Numeral Symbols is a collection of ancient and medieval numeric signs derived from the Maghrebi tradition, used historically in North Africa and Iberia for representing numbers in Arabic manuscripts and inscriptions. These symbols, which resemble a distinct cursive style of digits, were employed in accounting, astronomy, and other scholarly texts, often alongside the Arabic alphabet. The set includes signs for units, tens, hundreds, and higher values, with some forms showing regional variation. While largely obsolete today, these numerals are of significant historical interest to paleographers and researchers of Islamic mathematics and commerce, preserving a numeric system that predates the widespread adoption of modern Arabic or Western digits in those regions.
