This character belongs to the Ottoman Siyaq Numbers block. The Ottoman Siyaq Numbers block represents a specialized numeric system used in the Ottoman Empire for accounting, financial records, and administrative purposes. Siyaq numbers differ from the standard Arabic-Indic numerals used for everyday purposes in the Ottoman world, as they were used in formal, bureaucratic, and financial documents. These numerals were essential for maintaining records in a variety of contexts, including tax collection, trade, and governmental operations. By including Ottoman Siyaq Numbers in Unicode, historians and researchers can more easily study historical Ottoman documents, many of which are written using this specialized numeric system. The block provides a crucial tool for anyone working with Ottoman archives, as it ensures that these historically important numeric systems can be accurately represented and preserved in digital form, aiding in the understanding of the empire’s complex bureaucratic and financial systems..
