Unicode Version 17.0
𑈷
U+11237 "𑈷" Khojki Sign Shadda is a diacritical mark used in the Khojki script, which was historically employed to write the Sindhi language and religious texts of the Ismaili Muslim community. This sign functions similarly to the Arabic and Indic shadda, indicating gemination or doubling of a consonant sound to which it is attached. As part of the Khojki block, it is written above or adjacent to a base character within a word to modify pronunciation, reflecting the script's adaptation to phonetic nuances from its Arabic and Brahmic influences. Its encoding preserves an important orthographic feature for texts that document the cultural and linguistic heritage of the Khojki literary tradition.
