U+10186 "𐆆" Greek Artabe Sign is a historical epigraphic symbol used in ancient Greece to denote the artabe, a Persian-influenced unit of dry volume measurement primarily for grain. Originating from the Achaemenid Empire and later adopted in Hellenistic and Roman Egypt, the sign appears in papyri and inscriptions to represent a specific capacity, roughly equivalent to 55 liters or 1.5 bushels, highlighting cultural and economic exchanges between Greek and Persian civilizations. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard preserves this numeral-like notation for scholarly digital documentation of ancient metrology.
