U+11F4E "𑽎" Kawi Punctuation Spiral is a punctuation mark from the Kawi script, an ancient script used to write languages such as Old Javanese, Balinese, and Sundanese in Southeast Asia, particularly on the islands of Java and Bali. This specific character, shaped like a spiral, functioned as a decorative or structural divider in inscriptions and manuscripts, often marking the end of a text segment, stanza, or major section, similar to a danda or period in other scripts. It was part of a broader set of ornate punctuation employed in Kawi calligraphy, reflecting the script's aesthetic and ritual significance in Hindu Buddhist contexts from the 8th to the 16th centuries.
