Text symbol

What 𐡼 means

Palmyrene developed from Aramaic letterforms used in the Achaemenid Persian Empire. Its inscriptions are attested from 44 BCE; the wider numeral system is dated around 100 BCE–275 CE.

Palmyrene numerals recorded quantities in inscriptions and commercial records. Larger values were written by placing signs in sequence and adding their values. Nabataean is a related Aramaic script tradition, not another name for Palmyrene. After Palmyra was destroyed in 273 CE, Greek and Roman notation replaced this local system.

Why does 𐡼 show as a box on some devices?

Not every system ships a font for the Palmyrene block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
