U+115C3 "ð‘—ƒ" Siddham Double Danda Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+115C3 "ð‘—ƒ" Siddham Double Danda is a punctuation mark used in the Siddham script, an ancient Indian writing system historically employed for writing Sanskrit, particularly in Buddhist contexts across East Asia. This character functions as a textual delimiter, specifically signaling the end of a major section, verse, or complete passage within a Siddham manuscript, analogous to the role of a period or double danda in other Brahmic scripts. Its design consists of two vertical strokes, emphasizing a stronger pause or termination compared to the single danda, which denotes a less significant break. The inclusion of this character in Unicode supports the accurate digital preservation and scholarly study of Siddham texts, which are integral to understanding Mahayana Buddhist literature and esoteric traditions.
