U+0700 "܀" Syriac End of Paragraph Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

܀

U+0700 "܀" Syriac End of Paragraph is a punctuation mark used in the Syriac script, a writing system historically employed for the Syriac language, a dialect of Aramaic, in both liturgical and literary contexts across various Middle Eastern Christian traditions. This character functions specifically as a visual indicator to signal the end of a paragraph, much like a small, ornate symbol rather than a blank line or simple period, and it often appears in Syriac manuscripts and modern digital texts to provide clear textual structure. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures that this traditional scribal practice can be accurately represented and rendered in electronic documents, preserving the distinct formatting conventions of Syriac writing.
