Medefaidrin digit seven

It means seven in Medefaidrin's base-20 number system. The system has twenty basic digits, from 0 through 19. Medefaidrin is the language and script of the Obɛri Ɔkaimɛ Christian community in southeastern Nigeria, developed for worship and community life.

The history of Medefaidrin writing begins around 1927, when the language took shape within the community. It was developed for worship and community responsibilities; later accounts also record its use in teaching, letters, contracts, and some everyday life. R. F. G. Adams described the language and script in 1947, and a later Unicode proposal reproduces numeral material from that account. Later documentation emphasizes prayer, scripture study, and efforts to keep the language in use.

Why does this character show as a box?

The font or app cannot draw this character. Fonts can draw the same character differently; a box or fallback symbol means the app lacks a usable Medefaidrin font, not that the number has changed. A file may still contain the character even if one viewer cannot display it.

How are Medefaidrin numbers above 19 written?

Compound numerals above 19 use simplified forms of 1, 2, and 3. The basic digits run from 0 through 19; these simplified forms appear when the script writes larger numbers.
