Vignette chiffre six sans empattement cerclé ➅

Number six in the Arabic numeral system was drawn as a fist with the thumb withdrawn (the familiar «like» gesture, only in an inclined position).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.

Le symbole «Vignette chiffre six sans empattement cerclé» est inclus dans le sous-bloc «Chiffres cerclés pictographiques» du bloc «Casseau» et a été approuvé dans le cadre de la version Unicode 1.1 en 1993.
