U+1014C "𐅌" Greek Acrophonic Attic Five Hundred Talents is a numeral symbol from the ancient Greek acrophonic system, used primarily in Athens and other Attic regions to denote a value of five hundred talents, a massive unit of currency and weight. This character belongs to the Ancient Greek Numbers block in Unicode, which encodes a variety of numerical signs from early Greek inscriptions. The acrophonic system derived its symbols from the first letters of number words, and this particular glyph represents the letter "Χ" for χίλιοι (thousand), modified to indicate fractional or specific denominations. The talent, equivalent to about 26 kilograms of silver, was a substantial sum typically used for state expenditures, tribute, or large commercial transactions in classical Greece. Thus, U+1014C captures a specific administrative and economic notation from the 5th to 1st centuries BCE, reflecting the precision of Athenian accounting on stone and papyrus.
