Unicode Version 17.0
𐫶
U+10AF6 "𐫶" Manichaean Punctuation Line Filler is a specialized glyph used in the Manichaean script, which was employed to write the liturgical and theological texts of the Manichaean religion between the 3rd and 10th centuries. This character functions as a line filler, a punctuation mark inserted into a line of text to adjust spacing and create a visually uniform right margin, similar to how a modern typographer might use variable spacing or swashes. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve the precise formatting and scribal conventions of ancient Manichaean manuscripts.
