cuneiform numeric sign three sharu

Cuneiform Numeric Sign Three Sharu

47/116

𒐮 means three šaru: 108,000 in the Mesopotamian counting-number system. Cuneiform numbers recorded quantities and goods at Uruk around 3300 BCE, then appeared in later Sumerian and Babylonian mathematical texts. In GANA area metrology, šar'u is 10,800 per unit, so context changes the scale.

Text symbol

What 𒐮 means

In counting, three šaru totals 108,000. The counting-number system sets šar'u at 36,000; GANA area metrology sets it at 10,800. The sign still counts three units, so the table supplies the scale. Unicode encoding preserves an abstract sign identity while period and regional styles alter its drawing.

Why does 𒐮 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.
