Unicode Version 17.0
ຯ
U+0EAF "ຯ" Lao Ellipsis is a punctuation mark used in the Lao script to indicate a pause, omission, or trailing thought, similar to an ellipsis in English. It appears as a single glyph, visually distinct from the three-dot ellipsis common in Western typography, and is employed in literary and formal texts to signify an intentional break or unfinished sentence. This character is part of the Lao block in Unicode and serves as a concise, culturally specific alternative to multiple punctuation marks for representing suspense or continuity in written Lao language.
