Source: Browser Default
U+0965 "॥" Devanagari Double Danda is a punctuation mark used in the Devanagari script, primarily to signify the end of a verse, chapter, or major section of text in Sanskrit, Hindi, Marathi, and other languages written in Devanagari. It functions as a strong delimiter, analogous to a double vertical bar in other scripts, marking a more definitive pause or boundary than a single danda, which indicates a simple sentence or clause break. This character is commonly found in religious and classical literature, such as the Vedas and epic poems, where it helps structure complex textual divisions.
