U+0964 "।" Devanagari Danda Unicode Character

U+0964 "।" Devanagari Danda is a punctuation mark used primarily in the scripts of the Brahmic family, including Devanagari, to signify the end of a sentence or a verse, functioning similarly to a period or full stop in Latin script. It appears as a vertical line and is often employed in writing languages such as Hindi, Marathi, and Sanskrit to mark a major pause or completion of a thought. The Danda is distinct from the Latin period in that it is typically used with no following space in traditional typesetting, and it plays a crucial role in the visual and grammatical structure of texts written in these South Asian scripts.
