What ೩ means
Alone, it counts three. The Kannada word ಮೂರು names the number; ೩ is its numeral form. In ೩೦, zero puts ೩ in the tens place, making thirty.
Brahmi, an ancient Indian script, underlies regional numeral traditions. Gupta forms led to Nagari; Kannada developed its own set.
The Gudnapur stone-pillar inscription has an uncertain date; one report places it in the early sixth century and calls it the earliest inscription with all nine Kannada numerals. It records land grants and temple endowments.
