U+A875 "꡵" Phags-Pa Double Head Mark is a punctuation symbol used in the Phags-pa script, an alphabet created in the 13th century under the Mongol Emperor Kublai Khan to write Chinese, Tibetan, Mongolian, and other languages of the Yuan dynasty. This specific glyph functions as a repeating or ditto mark, indicating that the preceding character or syllable should be read or repeated a second time, similar to how a double head mark would signal a musical repeat. It is part of the Phags-pa block in Unicode, where it serves as a specialized punctuation for texts originating from that historical period, enabling accurate representation of scribal conventions in digital encoding.
