Old Italic numeral one

33/39

𐌠 is the Etruscan numeral one, used in inscriptions of the Etruscans, an ancient people of central Italy. Old Italic is the family of ancient scripts that includes Etruscan writing. Numeral traditions in ancient Italy took shape around 600–500 BCE in Greek and Etruscan contexts. Its resemblance to Roman I has a proposed historical explanation.

What 𐌠 means

A proposed link exists; the two signs are distinct characters.

The origin of Roman numeral I has several explanations. In 1988, Paul Keyser argued that Latin numerals developed from Etruscan tally marks, whose forms were later altered and shortened. Roman numerals spread across medieval Europe. This system-level theory does not establish that 𐌠 directly became Latin I.

Why does 𐌠 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
