What ᠖ means
It denotes the quantity six. Mongolian digit forms draw on Tibetan numerals; the Mongolian script descends from Old Uyghur and traditionally runs vertically.
A Mongolian Kanjur fragment, from a collection of Buddhist scriptures, numbers manuscript leaves with Mongolian words; Tibetan-derived figures are documented by the beginning of the seventeenth century. These numerals serve practical numbering in manuscripts, pages, tables, and records.
Neutral: a numeral for Mongolian-script text.
In vertical Mongolian layout, it may turn with the column; it still means six.
