U+10BAD "𐮭" Psalter Pahlavi Number Ten Unicode Character

U+10BAD "𐮭" Psalter Pahlavi Number Ten is a numeral sign used in the Psalter Pahlavi script, which was employed primarily for writing Middle Persian in Zoroastrian religious texts, most notably the Psalter. This character represents the number ten and is part of a set of numeric symbols that were written using a variant of the Pahlavi writing system, known for its cursive and often complex ligatures. Unlike many other ancient numeral systems, Psalter Pahlavi numbers were integrated into the text in a semitic abjad style, where the symbol itself indicates a numeric value rather than a phonetic sound. The inclusion of this character in Unicode helps preserve and digitally represent a key aspect of early Iranian literary and liturgical culture.
