What 𑅂 means

It closes a larger stretch of Chakma text. The double danda 𑅂 is a punctuation mark: the single danda marks a smaller stop, while this form commonly closes a verse or section. The exact boundary depends on the text.

The Chakma script belongs to the Brahmi family, an old South Asian writing tradition. Historical accounts describe Chakma manuscripts written on palm leaves and written references to the Chakma people by the 10th century. As of 2026, descriptions note native punctuation alongside ASCII marks (basic text punctuation); some texts use Western stops where a danda might otherwise appear.
