What 𑻷 means
It can divide text at a word or phrase-group boundary. Older Makasar manuscripts usually lacked spaces between words, so the scope of this Makasar punctuation could vary. Makasar may descend from Rejang, a South Sumatran script, though the link is uncertain. The script served Makasar kingdoms in the 17th century before Buginese writing replaced it during the 19th.
