Editing Coptic script (section)

=== Numerals ===
Coptic numerals are an [[alphabetic numeral system]] in which numbers are indicated with letters of the alphabet, such as {{coptic|1=<span style="font-size:150%;">ⲫ</span>}} for 500.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode9.0.0/ch07.pdf#G20251 | date=July 2016 | title=Section 7.3: Coptic, Numerical Use of Letters | work=The Unicode Standard | publisher=The Unicode Consortium}}</ref>
The numerical value of the letters is based on [[Greek numerals]]. Sometimes numerical use is distinguished from text with a continuous [[overline]] above the letters, as with Greek and [[Cyrillic numerals]].
