Indic Syllabic Category - Number Joiner

Number Joiner is a specific category used to denote a character that acts as a connector between numeric digits and other symbols in Indic scripts, particularly in contexts where numbers are written with surrounding punctuation or special markers. This value applies to characters that serve to join or separate numerical elements without altering their inherent numeric value, often appearing in sequences like dates, currency amounts, or ordinal notations. The primary function of a Number Joiner is to prevent the digits from being visually merged or misinterpreted, ensuring that the numeric sequence remains clear and distinct. It is distinct from other joining categories because it does not indicate a phonetic or syllabic relationship, but rather a purely numeric or orthographic one, commonly found in certain South Asian writing systems.
