What ៦ means
It represents the number six.
In longer Khmer numerals, position gives ៦ units, tens, hundreds, or a higher place. Khmer numeral history reaches temple records listing dates, people, livestock, rice, and gifts. Some Khmer number words came through Thai from Chinese; this concerns words, not the written digit.
Khmer, Thai, and Lao scripts descend from Brahmi, an ancient South Asian writing system.
