Khojki section mark

It usually marks the end of a Khojki sentence.

In Khojki manuscripts, 𑈻 generally closes a sentence at the text-block edge. Its paired double section mark, 𑈼, marks larger units such as paragraphs.

Khojki developed from the Sindhi branch of the mercantile Landa script family and was refined for Ismaili literary use. Its manuscripts carried Gujarati, Punjabi, Siraiki, related Hindi varieties, Arabic, and Persian. Khojki manuscript use is described from the 16th century; accounts of the earliest written witnesses differ, with one naming a 1737 manuscript and another reporting uncertain accounts of older copies.

Is 𑈻 the same as §?

No. 𑈻 is Khojki punctuation; § is a Latin-script section sign.

The shared English label can blur the distinction. In Khojki, 𑈻 marks a sentence or section boundary; § is used to refer to numbered sections in a document.

The Khojki double danda, 𑈹, is another punctuation mark, used for sentence endings and verse sections. It is not the paired double form of 𑈻.

What does it mean when someone sends 𑈻?

Read it first as a character reference, not a reaction.

After Khojki prose, read it as punctuation. Sent alone by someone discussing a manuscript, font, or Unicode text, it likely points to the character itself; outside that context, the surrounding message matters.
