U+109C9 "𐧉" Meroitic Cursive Number Ten Unicode Character

U+109C9 "𐧉" Meroitic Cursive Number Ten is a numeral from the Meroitic Cursive script, which was used in the Kingdom of Kush (present-day Sudan) between roughly the 3rd century BCE and the 4th century CE. This character represents the number ten and is part of a cursive writing system derived from Egyptian hieratic numerals, adapted for the Meroitic language. The Meroitic Cursive script was primarily employed for administrative and everyday records, with its numeric symbols appearing on ostraca, temple inscriptions, and funerary texts. Included in Unicode version 6.1 in 2012, this character helps preserve the numerical notation of an ancient African civilization that remains only partially deciphered.
