U+10F21 "𐼡" Old Sogdian Number Five Unicode Character

U+10F21 "𐼡" Old Sogdian Number Five is a numerical symbol from the Old Sogdian script, which was used to write the Sogdian language, an Eastern Iranian language once spoken across Central Asia along the Silk Road. This character represents the number five in the Sogdian numeral system, which was based on a combination of additive and decimal principles. The script itself evolved from the Syriac alphabet and later influenced the development of the Uyghur and Mongolian scripts, making this numeral a small but significant piece of the linguistic and commercial history of medieval trade routes.
