U+11047 "𑁇" Brahmi Danda Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𑁇
U+11047 "𑁇" Brahmi Danda is a punctuation mark used in the ancient Brahmi script, serving as a vertical line to indicate a full stop or the end of a sentence or verse, much like a modern period or comma in other writing systems. It is part of the Brahmi Unicode block, which encodes characters from one of the earliest known writing systems of South Asia, dating back to the 3rd century BCE. This danda is typically paired with a double danda (U+11048) for larger textual breaks, and its inclusion in Unicode allows for the accurate digital representation and rendering of historical Brahmi inscriptions and manuscripts.
