Unicode Version 17.0
𑽆
U+11F46 "𑽆" Kawi Punctuation Alternate Section Marker is a specialized symbol from the Kawi script block, which represents an ancient script used across maritime Southeast Asia to write Old Javanese, Balinese, and other languages. This particular punctuation mark serves as an alternate or variant marker to indicate a major section division within a text, functioning similarly to a modern section break or paragraph separator. It was encoded in Unicode version 16.0 in 2024 to support the accurate digital representation of historical manuscripts and inscriptions, where scribes employed this marker to annotate textual structure, often alongside other punctuation for readability in palm‑leaf documents.
