Unicode Version 17.0
饝北
U+11C71 "饝北" Marchen Mark Shad is a punctuation mark used in the Marchen script, an ancient Brahmic writing system historically employed to write the Zhangzhung language in the Himalayan region, particularly associated with the Tibetan Bon tradition. This specific mark, called a Shad, functions as a baseline space filler or syllabic separator, used within texts to visually align characters or mark a pause, similar in purpose to a space or danda in other scripts, and it is encoded in the Unicode Marchen block, which was added in version 9.0 of the standard to support the script's careful documentation and digital preservation.
