Joining Group - Manichaean Hundred

Manichaean Hundred is a numeric value represented in the Manichaean script, which was used for writing the Manichaean religion’s texts in Central Asia. In the context of the script’s joining behavior, this character falls into a category that defines how it connects to neighboring letters when rendered in cursive forms. Specifically, the Manichaean Hundred joins only on one side, typically the right, meaning it does not connect to characters following it, but it links with those preceding it in a word. This joining characteristic reflects its historical use as a standalone numeral, rather than a letter, so it does not participate in the full ligature and connection patterns of ordinary alphabetic characters. Its placement in this group helps text shaping engines correctly render the numeral without unintended cursive links, preserving its distinct visual identity within Manichaean manuscripts.
