Tirhuta Digit Five

𑓕 is the Tirhuta digit for five. Tirhuta was the traditional script for Maithili, spoken in India and Nepal. Tirhuta, Bengali, Newari, and Odia scripts descend from Gauḍī, an older script, and were distinct by the 14th century. The earliest reported Tirhuta inscriptions date to the 7th century; the 1324 Varṇa Ratnākara is an early surviving Maithili manuscript. Modern Maithili print shifted toward Devanagari, while Tirhuta retained its traditional role.
