Unicode Version 17.0
ð‘‚¾
U+110BE "ð‘‚¾" Kaithi Section Mark is a punctuation symbol used in the Kaithi script, a historical writing system employed primarily for administrative and literary purposes in northern India. This specific mark functions as a section divider, similar to a danda or double danda in other Brahmic scripts, indicating the end of a sentence or a larger textual division within Kaithi manuscripts. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures that scholars and digital typographers can accurately represent and preserve the original formatting of historical texts written in Kaithi, which was widely used for languages such as Maithili, Bhojpuri, and Urdu before the advent of modern script preferences.
