U+0F10 "༐" Tibetan Mark Nyis Tsheg Shad Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+0F10 "༐" Tibetan Mark Nyis Tsheg Shad is a punctuation mark used in the Tibetan script to serve as a double tsheg, or a stronger separator than the single tsheg (U+0F0B). It typically appears as a vertical stack of two dots, functioning to indicate a longer pause or a more significant break in text, often between sections or for certain rhythmic or grammatical purposes in Tibetan writing. Its name combines "nyis" meaning two, "tsheg" for the inter-syllabic dot, and "shad" referring to a vertical bar used as a phrase delimiter, though this specific character merges those concepts into a single glyph. This mark is distinct from the single tsheg and is employed in traditional Tibetan manuscripts and modern digital typography to enhance clarity and structure in the written language.
