U+0E5A "๚" Thai Character Angkhankhu is a punctuation mark used in the Thai script to signify the end of a chapter, section, or a major segment of text, functioning similarly to a closing bracket or a decorative delimiter. It is distinct from other Thai punctuation as it traditionally appears as a pair of stacked or connected circular marks, often employed in religious or literary manuscripts to conclude a passage or verse. While its usage has declined in modern everyday Thai writing, it remains a significant symbol in historical texts and formal or ceremonial contexts, preserving its role as a specialized marker for textual organization.
