What 𑗂 means

A sentence or short section. In Siddham punctuation, 𑗂 is the single danda; 𑗃 is its paired double mark for a larger unit.

Siddhamātṛkā, an earlier form of Siddham, is attested in North Indian inscriptions from the sixth to about the tenth century. It grew from Brahmi traditions, spread with Buddhist Sanskrit, and gave rise to scripts including Sharada, Proto-Bengali/Gaudi, and Nagari. As of 2026, Japanese Shingon and Tendai schools use Siddham chiefly in ritual writing.

Formal punctuation that marks a boundary in Siddham text.

It is a structural stop, not a generic divider.
