U+FE23 "︣" Combining Double Tilde Right Half is a spacing modifier character used in historical and scholarly text markup, specifically as part of the combining half diacritical marks block.

This character is intended to be used alongside its left counterpart, U+FE22, to form a complete double tilde over a base letter, facilitating accurate digital representation of paleographic and philological documents.
