What 𐾇 means
Use an Old Uyghur keyboard for repeated entry.
As of 2026, the Lexilogos Old Uyghur keyboard cycles punctuation when you press comma or period repeatedly. Key mapping varies by layout, and the font must support Old Uyghur.
What does 𐾇 do in Old Uyghur writing?
It marks a boundary between longer text sections.
Its companion 𐾆 marks shorter divisions, so the two signs distinguish breaks of different lengths.
Old Uyghur developed from flowing Sogdian handwriting and shifted from horizontal writing toward traditional vertical columns around the 8th–9th century. A 2019 study describes similar multifunctional punctuation in Manichaean Old Uyghur texts and Middle Iranian texts. A 2020 Unicode proposal keeps 𐾇 as the mark for longer divisions.
Why can 𐾇 look different?
Its orientation can change with the page layout.
Traditional Old Uyghur writing runs vertically, top to bottom in columns. In a horizontal layout, the glyph may rotate to suit right-to-left text; its punctuation role stays the same.
Its register is historical and script-specific: use it when reproducing Old Uyghur text.

1Will every font show 𐾇?
No. The font must include Old Uyghur characters. A box or substitute glyph means the display lacks support, not that this mark has another reading.
