Bhaiksuki Digit Six

75/97

𑱖 is the Bhaiksuki digit for six. The script developed from Brahmi, an earlier Indian writing system, and was used from about the 10th to the 13th centuries CE in Bihar, West Bengal, and northern Bangladesh. Bhaiksuki survives in Buddhist manuscripts and inscriptions. A separate sign, 𑱟, represents six in its other numeral notation.

Text symbol

What 𑱖 means

It is the decimal value six.

Bhaiksuki was used to write Saindhavī, an older Indo-Aryan language of the Middle Indic period. Saindhavī was also the script’s original name; it means “Sindhu or Indus script.” After its discovery in the late 19th century, scholars called it Bhaiksuki or the “Arrow-headed script.”

Why does 𑱖 show as a box?

A box usually means the font lacks Bhaiksuki glyph coverage. A font with Bhaiksuki support can render the digit.

Why does 𑱖 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
