U+11F44 "𑽄" Kawi Double Danda Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𑽄
U+11F44 "𑽄" Kawi Double Danda is a punctuation mark from the Kawi script, a historical Brahmic writing system used primarily in maritime Southeast Asia, notably on the islands of Java, Bali, and Sumatra, from roughly the 8th to the 16th century. This character functions as a strong separator, analogous to a period or major pause in modern punctuation, serving as a double vertical line that marks the end of a major section, sentence, or verse within a text. It is distinct from the single danda, which indicates a less significant break, and its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitally represent ancient manuscripts and inscriptions, such as those found on stone monuments and palm-leaf documents.
