U+0F14 "༔" Tibetan Mark Gter Tsheg Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+0F14 "༔" Tibetan Mark Gter Tsheg is a punctuation mark used in the Tibetan script, specifically designed to function as a delimiter or separator within texts composed in the Tibetan language. Unlike the standard Tibetan tsheg (a simple dot used to separate syllables), this gter tsheg is primarily employed in gter ma or "treasure text" literature, a genre of hidden religious scriptures in Tibetan Buddhism, to mark a unique type of syllable break or textual division. Its appearance resembles a small circle or disc, and its specialized use helps distinguish treasure texts from ordinary scriptures, providing a visual cue to readers and practitioners about the text's sacred or revealed nature.
