What 𐋤 means
It was made for practical numbering in Coptic records.
In the 10th century, Coptic-Arabic writers developed the system for administration. Its signs adapted ordinary Coptic letters into a separate, flowing numeral set.
By the turn of the 10th and 11th centuries, these signs numbered pages in an Arabic manuscript from Sinai. Related accounting numerals appear in medieval records from Egypt's Jewish and Muslim communities. Read left to right and add values: 𐋤𐋪 combines four with the ten sign, giving 14.
