Coptic Epact Digit Six

7/28

𐋦 is six in the Coptic epact numeral system. The system developed in Egypt in the 10th century for administration. In medieval Egypt, Coptic Christians, Muslims, and Jews used it in accounts, calendar calculations, and manuscript numbering. An Arabic manuscript from St Catherine's Monastery, likely made around the turn of the 10th and 11th centuries, uses it to number its leaves.

Text symbol

What 𐋦 means

No; they are two different signs for six. Older Coptic numerals used alphabet letters for numbers: ⲋ was six. 𐋦 belongs to a separate set of quick handwritten numeral forms based on Coptic letters. The system also appears to draw on Greek number writing. Additive sequences place larger values first and read left-to-right even inside Arabic text.

Why does 𐋦 show as a box on some devices?

Not every system ships a font for the Coptic Epact Numbers block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
