U+10163 "𐅣" Greek Acrophonic Messenian Ten Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+10163 "𐅣" Greek Acrophonic Messenian Ten is a historical numeral sign used in ancient Greece, specifically within the acrophonic numeral system of Messenia. This system employed the first letter of the word for a number as its symbol, and in this case, the character represents the value ten. Unlike the more common Attic or Herodianic numerals, the Messenian variant had its own distinct letter forms, and this character is part of a specialized block in Unicode dedicated to ancient Greek numerical and epigraphical symbols. As a result, it appears as a specialized graphic and is rarely encountered in modern digital text outside of scholarly works on epigraphy or classical numismatics.
