U+1806 "᠆" Mongolian Todo Soft Hyphen Unicode Character

U+1806 "᠆" Mongolian Todo Soft Hyphen is a specialized punctuation mark used within the Mongolian script, specifically in the Todo (or "clear") variant traditionally employed by the Oirat and Kalmyk peoples. Unlike the common soft hyphen found in other writing systems, this character functions as a visible hyphenation point within Mongolian text, appearing as a small, low line that connects syllables or words at line breaks to indicate continuation. It is distinct from the regular Mongolian hyphen and is encoded separately to preserve the orthographic norms of the Todo dialect, ensuring that digital representations of these languages maintain correct typographic behavior without disrupting the script's unique vertical or horizontal alignment.
