U+11FE2 "𑿢" Tamil Sign Kuzhi Unicode Character

U+11FE2 "𑿢" Tamil Sign Kuzhi is a relatively recently encoded symbol within the Tamil supplement block, added to the Unicode Standard in version 14.0 (released in September 2021). It represents a historical or traditional marking, known in Tamil as "Kuzhi," which literally translates to "hole" or "pit." In practice, it was used in ancient Tamil inscriptions and manuscripts as a variant or specialized diacritic sign, often functioning as a punctuation mark or a space-filler to indicate a blank section or a missing character within a line of text, serving a similar role to a placeholder or an omission indicator in epigraphical and palaeographic contexts.
