U+17D9 "៙" Khmer Sign Phnaek Muan Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+17D9 "៙" Khmer Sign Phnaek Muan is a Khmer script punctuation mark used in the Cambodian language to denote the end of a section or a major division within a text, similar in function to a double punctuation mark or a decorative divider in classical manuscripts. Its name "Phnaek Muan" translates roughly to "linked group" or "section separator," reflecting its role in visually breaking up larger bodies of text. This symbol is historically significant in traditional Khmer literature and religious inscriptions, where it helps organize content into coherent segments for easier reading and recitation. While less common in modern digital writing, it remains an important part of the Unicode standard for preserving the orthographic traditions of the Khmer language.
