U+0F0B "་" Tibetan Mark Intersyllabic Tsheg Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+0F0B "་" Tibetan Mark Intersyllabic Tsheg is a fundamental punctuation mark used in the Tibetan script to separate syllables within a word or between words, functioning as a visual break that guides pronunciation and reading flow. It resembles a small dot or comma and appears after each syllable, except for the final syllable in a word, helping to avoid confusion between syllables that could otherwise blend together. Unlike spaces in many other scripts, the tsheg is a mandatory part of Tibetan orthography and is not used to indicate grammatical pauses or sentence boundaries, which are instead marked by the shad character. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that digital text in Tibetan can be accurately rendered and processed across modern computing systems, preserving the proper structure and readability of the language.
