U+11C42 "𑱂" Bhaiksuki Double Danda Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𑱂
U+11C42 "𑱂" Bhaiksuki Double Danda is a punctuation mark from the Bhaiksuki script, which was historically used in what is now India and Nepal to write Buddhist manuscripts, particularly between the 6th and 8th centuries. This character functions as a strong sentence terminator, similar to a full stop or double vertical bar in other Indic scripts, indicating a major pause or the end of a verse or section, for which two danda marks are typically combined to denote a greater separation than a single one would provide.
