Unicode Version 17.0

U+0F1B "༛" Tibetan Sign Rdel Dkar Gnyis is a punctuation mark used in the Tibetan script to denote a specific type of delimiter or separation within textual content, primarily representing a double tsheg or intersyllabic dot that indicates a longer pause or break than a single tsheg. This sign, whose name translates to "two white stones" or "two white drops," is employed in traditional Tibetan manuscripts and printed works, often appearing in religious or literary contexts to mark the end of a major section or a verse within a text. Its visual form consists of two vertically aligned dots, resembling a colon, and it serves an important role in the orthographic structure of written Tibetan by helping to clarify syntactic boundaries and rhythmic phrasing in reading.
