U+0F0F "༏" Tibetan Mark Tsheg Shad Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
༏
U+0F0F "༏" Tibetan Mark Tsheg Shad is a punctuation mark used in the Tibetan script, specifically designed to combine the functions of a tsheg (a syllable-dividing dot) and a shad (a vertical bar used as a phrase or clause delimiter). This character typically appears in Tibetan texts to indicate a pause or break between syntactic units, serving as a stylistic or rhythmic alternative to writing the two marks separately. While its use has declined in modern standard Tibetan orthography, it can still be found in classical manuscripts, liturgical works, and certain educational materials where scribes employed it to save space or emphasize a particular textual flow.
