U+17D7 "ៗ" Khmer Sign Lek Too Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ៗ
U+17D7 "ៗ" Khmer Sign Lek Too is a Khmer script punctuation mark used to indicate the repetition of a preceding word or phrase, functioning similarly to a ditto mark or iterant sign in other writing systems. It is commonly employed in written Khmer to avoid redundancy, signaling that the prior term should be read again, and it appears in both traditional and modern texts, including literature, signage, and digital communication. Unlike a hyphen or dash, this sign is placed after the repeated element without additional spacing, making it a compact and essential tool for efficient writing in the Khmer language.
