What ᠑ means
It represents one in the Mongolian and Todo digit set.
Mongolian numerals developed from Tibetan numerals in the thirteenth century.
The same ten-digit decimal set serves Mongolian writing and Todo, a modified form of the Mongolian script. Manchu and Sibe writing has no special digit set; traditional books may use Chinese number characters instead. On Mongolia’s 1925 banknotes, every inscription and number was in Mongolian script.
