Unicode Version 17.0
𐽕
U+10F55 "𐽕" Sogdian Punctuation Two Vertical Bars is a punctuation mark used for the Sogdian script, an ancient writing system of Central Asia employed to record the Sogdian language, an Eastern Iranian language. This specific symbol consists of two parallel vertical lines and functioned as a sentence separator or a marker of syntactic boundaries within Sogdian texts, particularly in manuscripts from the early medieval period on the Silk Road. It belongs to the Sogdian block of Unicode, which was introduced in Unicode 11.0 in 2018 to support the digital representation of this historical script, and is distinct from similar double-bar punctuation in other writing systems by its specific contextual use in Sogdian orthography.
