U+115D5 "ð‘—•" Siddham Section Mark with Circles and Rays is a punctuation mark used in the Siddham script, an historic alphasyllabary primarily employed for writing sacred Buddhist texts in East Asia, especially in Japan. This visually distinctive character, which features a central circle surrounded by smaller circles and radiating lines, functions as a section divider or ornament to separate textual segments, often within tantric or ritual manuscripts. Its design reflects the elaborate decorative tradition of Siddham calligraphy, where such marks not only structure the script but also carry symbolic significance, possibly representing spiritual radiance or cosmic elements.
