𑩅

U+11A45 "𑩅" Zanabazar Square Initial Double-Lined Head Mark is a punctuation mark used in the Zanabazar Square script, an abugida invented in the 17th century by the Mongolian monk and scholar Zanabazar for writing primarily Buddhist texts in Tibetan, Sanskrit, and Mongolian languages. This specific character serves as an initial heading symbol, distinguished by its double-lined design, which marks the beginning of a section or major division within a manuscript, functioning similarly to a decorative or structural ornament in traditional calligraphy. It belongs to the block of Zanabazar Square characters defined in Unicode version 10.0, released in 2017, and preserves a unique feature of the script's typographic traditions that were historically used in Mongolian Buddhist manuscripts and inscriptions.
