U+10173 "𐅳" Greek Acrophonic Delphic Five Mnas Unicode Character

U+10173 "𐅳" Greek Acrophonic Delphic Five Mnas is an ancient Greek numeral symbol representing the value of five mnas, a unit of currency or weight equivalent to 100 drachmae. It originates from the acrophonic system used in Delphi and other regions, where numbers were denoted by the first letter of their name, with this specific character derived from the Greek letter mu (Μ). This symbol was inscribed on stone and pottery for financial records and trade, reflecting the specialized numerical notation of pre-Hellenistic Greece before the adoption of alphabetic numerals. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitize a fragment of ancient economic history.
