U+0C7F "౿" Telugu Sign Tuumu Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
౿
U+0C7F "౿" Telugu Sign Tuumu is a punctuation mark used in the Telugu script, primarily to denote a full stop or the end of a sentence, similar to a period in English. Historically, it served as a sentence-final marker in classical and medieval Telugu texts, though in modern usage it has largely been replaced by the common South Asian danda or other punctuation. Visualized as a decorative or stylized symbol, it remains a significant artifact of the script's typographic history and is preserved in the Unicode Standard for representation of historical and literary works.
