U+0816 "ࠖ" Samaritan Mark In Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+0816 "ࠖ" Samaritan Mark In is a punctuation mark used in the Samaritan script, a direct descendant of the ancient Paleo-Hebrew alphabet, to indicate a minor pause or a shorter break within a verse or section of liturgical text. This mark functions as a diacritical or cantillation sign, traditionally employed in the reading of the Samaritan Torah to guide the intonation and phrasing of the oral recitation. It belongs to the Samaritan block of Unicode, which was added to the standard to support the encoding of the Samaritan language and its unique writing system. The character typically appears as a small horizontal stroke or a short line positioned above or within the text, serving a role similar to that of the comma or a low stop in other punctuation systems.
