Source: Browser Default
U+1360 "፠" Ethiopic Section Mark is a punctuation symbol used in the Geʽez script, which is the traditional writing system for languages such as Amharic, Tigrinya, and Geʽez itself. This character functions as a visual divider between sections or paragraphs in Ethiopic texts, much like an asterism or a section break in other writing systems, aiding in the structural organization of written works. Its distinct appearance, resembling four dots arranged in a diamond shape, helps readers navigate manuscripts, religious documents, and modern publications by clearly marking transitions between discrete units of content.
