Unicode Version 17.0
𑑌
U+1144C "𑑌" Newa Double Danda is a punctuation mark used in the Newa script, which is traditionally employed to write the Nepal Bhasa language in the Kathmandu Valley of Nepal. This symbol functions as a strong separator, analogous to a period or full stop in Latin scripts, indicating the end of a major sentence or section of text. It is distinct from the single danda, which typically marks a smaller pause, and its use helps to structure written Newa documents, particularly in religious, literary, and historical manuscripts.
