Dingbat Circled Sans-Serif Digit Six ➅
Symbol Meaning
Number six in the Arabic numeral system was drawn as a fist with the thumb withdrawn (the familiar “like” gesture, only in an inclined position). This image has its own logic: to get six, you need to add one to the five (it is symbolized by the palm) – a finger pointing towards yourself. When Arabic numerals began to be used in Europe, the icon was slightly modified – the “tail” was turned into a familiar “loop”.
Now six can be seen everywhere, including Unicode. One of such symbols is called Dingbat Circled Sans-Serif Digit Six. Use it in combination with other digits from the series: ➃, ➄, ➆ and so on.
The symbol “Dingbat Circled Sans-Serif Digit Six” is included in the “Dingbat circled digits” subblock of the “Dingbats” block and was approved as part of Unicode version 1.1 in 1993.
