U+17D6 "៖" Khmer Sign Camnuc Pii Kuuh Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
៖
U+17D6 "៖" Khmer Sign Camnuc Pii Kuuh is a punctuation mark used in the Khmer script to indicate a specific type of pause or break within a sentence, functioning similarly to a colon or a final stop depending on context. Its name translates to "full stop sign" or "period sign," and it is employed in traditional Khmer writing to mark the end of a section of text or a major clause, often before a change in topic or a new idea. This character is distinct from other Khmer punctuation because it depicts a pair of small circles stacked vertically, serving as a visual cue for readers to recognize a structural division in the written language.
