U+0604 "" Arabic Sign Samvat is a typographic symbol used in certain Arabic script contexts to denote the Samvat era, a calendar system traditionally employed in South Asia, particularly in regions influenced by Hindu and Jain chronology. It appears as a distinct glyph that combines Arabic calligraphic elements with a numerical function, often placed before or after a year number to indicate dates in the Vikrami Samvat calendar. This character supports historical and cultural documentation by allowing precise representation of temporal markers in digital text, bridging Arabic script with the calendrical traditions of the Indian subcontinent.
