What 𐧩 means
It recorded the number 60,000.
Meroitic writing developed in Kush from Egyptian models. Its Cursive form drew on Demotic, a handwritten Egyptian script; the separate Hieroglyphic form drew on Egyptian hieroglyphs. The earliest dated Meroitic Cursive text is around 200 BCE. Cursive was used in practical documents, accounts, funerary texts, labels, and royal stelae, upright inscribed stones.
Meroitic eventually fell out of use. Later writing traditions in the region included Nubian and Coptic; Coptic writes Egyptian largely with Greek-derived letters. The numeral's everyday role ended.
This is a historical numeral from Meroitic writing, not an emoji.
A box means the font lacks 𐧩; Meroitic runs right to left, which can affect its placement beside other scripts.
