What 𑙑 means
It represents the value one in Modi’s decimal digit set.
Modi emerged as an administrative script in the 16th century. Maratha rulers adopted it for official use from the 17th century; Devanagari became Marathi’s standard script by the mid-20th century.
How did Modi develop?
Its origin is uncertain; Modi derives from the Nagari family.
One tradition says Hemadri Pandit brought Modi from Sri Lanka; another credits Balaji Avaji, secretary to the Maratha ruler Shivaji, with creating it. Both stories are difficult to verify. Modi derives from the Nagari family, which includes Devanagari, and was adapted for continuous writing with fewer pen lifts.
