𐫴
U+10AF4 "𐫴" Manichaean Punctuation Dot is a distinct punctuation mark used in the Manichaean script to denote a significant pause or structural break within a text, functioning similarly to a period or other sentence-ending marks in modern writing systems. This character belongs to the Manichaean block of Unicode, which was added to support the liturgical and historical manuscripts of the Manichaean religion, originally written in a cursive script derived from Aramaic. The dot serves as a diacritical or separative element, helping to clarify the reading of sacred or theological writings by visually dividing phrases or clauses.
