U+A8D5 "꣕" Saurashtra Digit Five Unicode Character

U+A8D5 "꣕" Saurashtra Digit Five is a numerical glyph used in the Saurashtra script, which was historically employed to write the Saurashtra language, primarily in the Tamil Nadu region of India. This digit represents the number five and is part of a decimal numeral system that includes distinct characters for each value from zero to nine, encoded in the Unicode Standard’s Saurashtra block (U+A880 to U+A8DF). Like other digits in the script, it appears with a distinct visual style, often characterized by curved and angular strokes, and is used in both historical manuscripts and modern digital contexts for writing Saurashtra text, though the script itself is now largely supplanted by Tamil and Devanagari in everyday use.
