The evolution of the glyph for 6 appears rather simple when
compared with that for the other numerals. The modern 6 can be
traced back to the Brahmins of India, who wrote it in one stroke
like a cursive lowercase “e” rotated 90 degrees
clockwise. Gradually, the upper part of the stroke (above the
central squiggle) became more curved, while the lower part of the
stroke (below the central squiggle) became straighter. The Ghubar
Arabs dropped the part of the stroke below the squiggle. From
there, the European evolution to our modern 6 was very
straightforward, aside from a flirtation with a glyph that looked
more like an uppercase G.
