Hanifi Rohingya digit one

𐴱 is the Hanifi Rohingya numeral for one.

This Rohingya numeral represents one item in a decimal set. A handwritten digit chart and a primary-level arithmetic book show the numerals being taught and used in calculation.

An early Hanifi Rohingya document was finalized on February 19, 1980; committee development is described in the 1980s. Later material includes primers and newspapers, placing the script in an everyday literacy setting.

Why does 𐴱 look Arabic?

Arabic influence shaped the script, but 𐴱 is a Hanifi Rohingya numeral.

Hanifi Rohingya was developed as a dedicated writing system for Rohingya, with explicit vowels and its own decimal digits. Rohingya has also been written in Burmese, Arabic, and Latin scripts.

The script’s letter forms and structure show Arabic influence, with some forms also shaped by Latin and Myanmar. That influence does not make 𐴱 the Arabic-Indic digit ١; they are distinct characters.

Why do the numbers change direction?

Text runs right to left; number strings run left to right.

Inside a Hanifi Rohingya sentence, a multi-digit number keeps its ordinary left-to-right order. The direction change is a layout rule; it does not change 𐴱’s value.
