The Right-to-Left Arabic (AL) bidi class is similar to the Right-to-Left (R) class, but it specifically applies to Arabic script characters and characters from other scripts that behave similarly.

This character belongs to the Indic Siyaq Numbers block. The Indic Siyaq Numbers block provides a set of numerals used in the Indian subcontinent during the Mughal Empire for administrative and financial records. Like the Ottoman Siyaq numbers, these numerals were part of a specialized accounting system used for official documentation and record-keeping. The Indic Siyaq numerals were primarily used by accountants, government officials, and tax collectors in regions controlled by the Mughal Empire, making them an important tool for understanding the economic and bureaucratic practices of the time. The inclusion of Indic Siyaq Numbers in Unicode is crucial for historians working with archival documents from the Mughal period, as it allows for the accurate digital representation of these records. By ensuring that these numerals are preserved in a standardized format, Unicode supports the ongoing study of South Asian history and the complex administrative systems that were in place during the Mughal era..
