Modi digit six

It means six in the Modi script.

The Modi script grew from the older Nagari writing tradition; surviving Modi documents date to the 16th–17th centuries. Its flowing forms were shaped for fast handwriting with fewer pen lifts. Scribes under Deccan sultanates and Maratha kingdoms used it for Marathi letters, royal orders, revenue records and other administration. Balbodh—the Marathi form of Devanagari—served literary and sacred writing; print culture later favored Balbodh, and Modi declined. Traditions credit Hemadri Pandit or Balaji Avaji with its invention, but its gradual development from Nagari points to an evolving script rather than a single inventor.

How do I type Modi digit six?

Use a Unicode-aware Modi keyboard or converter.

A Devanagari keyboard produces ६, a different character with the same value. Choose Modi input when the text must remain in Modi.

If 𑙖 appears as a box, the font or app lacks Modi coverage. Modi-capable fonts can draw it differently without changing the character.
