Unicode Version 17.0
𑜾
U+1173E "𑜾" Ahom Sign Rulai is a typographical mark used in the Ahom script, which was historically employed to write the Ahom language in parts of present-day Assam, India. This specific sign functions as a punctuation or decorative element, often appearing in manuscripts to denote a section break, a pause, or the end of a textual unit, similar to a danda in other Brahmic scripts. It reflects the unique orthographic traditions of the Ahom people, who adapted their script from a Tai source, and its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve a key piece of Southeast Asian and Indian epigraphic heritage.
