U+09FA "৺" Bengali Isshar Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
৺
U+09FA "৺" Bengali Isshar is a script-specific punctuation mark used in the Bengali writing system, primarily to denote the end of a verse, stanza, or a significant section of text, functioning similarly to a religious or poetic full stop. It is also employed as an abbreviation marker, often placed above or adjacent to a shortened term, indicating that letters have been omitted. This character is distinct from the regular Bengali full stop, known as the dāri, and carries a specialized role in formal, liturgical, or classical compositions.
