U+1D2C5 "𝋅" Kaktovik Numeral Five is a numeric symbol representing the digit five in the Kaktovik numerals, a base-20 counting system originally developed by Iñupiaq students in Kaktovik, Alaska, during the 1990s to support their Indigenous language's arithmetic needs. This visually distinctive glyph resembles an upward-pointing chevron or a simplified fish shape, reflecting the system's design principle where numbers correspond to hand gestures and counts. As part of the Unicode standard's Supplemental Symbols and Pictographs block, this character was added in 2022 to facilitate digital representation and preservation of the Iñupiaq numerical tradition.
