What 𐹳 means
It marks two hundred in the Rumi system.
Called Fasi or Fez signs, Rumi numerals grew from Coptic or Greek-Coptic number writing in Egypt. Their earliest surviving written mention is al-Uqlīdisī’s account, completed in Damascus in 952–53 CE.
Fez administration used Rumi signs to mark folios (manuscript leaves), chapters and quires (gathered sheets); they also appeared in accounting, mathematics and astronomy. From the 10th to 17th centuries CE, use spanned Egypt, the Maghreb (north-west Africa) and al-Andalus (Muslim-ruled Iberia). Rumi notation adds values; Arabic-Indic ٢٠٠ uses place value.
