U+115CE "𑗎" Siddham Section Mark with Rays and Dotted Triple Crescents is a punctuation mark used in the Siddham script, a historical abugida primarily employed for writing Sanskrit texts in East Asia, especially within Japanese esoteric Buddhism. This ornate symbol, featuring radiating rays and a distinctive motif of three dotted crescent shapes, functioned as a decorative or structural divider within manuscripts, often marking the end of a significant textual section or chapter. Its elaborate design reflects the script’s ceremonial and artistic role in religious contexts, where such marks not only organized the text visually but also carried symbolic meaning tied to cosmological or spiritual concepts.
