Zanabazar Square Closing Head Mark

65/72

𑩀 is the closing half of a Zanabazar Square head mark, following 𑨿 at a text's opening. The script was made for Mongolian, Tibetan, and Sanskrit writing, and this mark echoes Tibetan text-opening punctuation; repeating 𑩀 extends it.

Text symbol

What 𑩀 means

𑩀 closes a Zanabazar Square head-mark sequence. It follows the opening character 𑨿 at a text's beginning. A font may draw the pair as one shape, though the text still contains two characters.

It carries a Tibetan opening convention

The Zanabazar Square script was created around 1686 for writing Mongolian, Tibetan, and Sanskrit. Its head mark adapts the Tibetan yig mgo: a sign used on book front pages and before headings. Here, repeating 𑩀 after 𑨿 extends the mark.

Manuscript-style punctuation for Zanabazar Square text and Tibetan transliteration.

It marks a text opening, not a sentence ending.

Why does 𑩀 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
