Unicode Version 17.0
꡷
U+A877 "꡷" Phags-Pa Mark Double Shad is a punctuation symbol from the historic Phags-Pa script, which was created in the 13th century during the Yuan Dynasty in Mongolia and China to write multiple languages, including Mongolian, Chinese, and Tibetan. This specific mark functions as a doubled version of the single shad, a glyph used to indicate a major pause or the end of a verse or section in Phags-Pa texts, analogous to a period or a stronger break in Western punctuation. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for the accurate digital representation and preservation of ancient Phags-Pa manuscripts and inscriptions, ensuring that this rare script can be properly studied and displayed in modern computing environments.
