U+0DE8 "෨" Sinhala Lith Digit Two is a numeral used in the Sinhala script to represent the number two within a specific historical and liturgical numbering system known as Sinhala Lith numerals, which were traditionally employed in astrology, astronomy, and ancient Sinhala manuscripts for marking dates and calculations. It is distinct from the standard modern Sinhala digit for two, as the Lith digits are a separate set of characters encoded for scholarly and historical text preservation, with this particular glyph appearing as a stylized, angular symbol that is visually unique from everyday numerals.
