Unicode Version 17.0
᨞
U+1A1E "᨞" Buginese Pallawa is a punctuation mark used in the Buginese script, primarily for writing the Bugis language of Sulawesi, Indonesia. It functions as a word separator or a phrase delimiter, similar to a comma or a period, helping to clarify boundaries within a sentence. The Pallawa is often employed in traditional manuscripts and modern digital texts to indicate pauses or the end of a clause, reflecting the script's unique orthographic conventions that differ from Latin-based punctuation. Its inclusion in Unicode supports the preservation and digital use of the Buginese writing system.
