Historical Origins
The character ၔ (Myanmar digit four) is part of the Myanmar script, one of the world's most distinctive writing systems. With roots dating back to the Mon script of the 5th century CE, the Myanmar script evolved to become the primary writing system for the Burmese language and several other languages in Myanmar.
The Myanmar numerals, including ၔ, have been used for over a millennium in religious texts, royal inscriptions, and everyday commerce. Unlike Arabic numerals that spread globally through trade, Myanmar numerals retained their unique forms, preserving a direct link to Southeast Asian mathematical traditions.
Cultural Significance
- Sacred texts: Used in Buddhist scriptures and temple inscriptions
