Danda
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the Devanāgarī script, the danda (दंड, lit. stick) is a punctuation character. The glyph consists of a single vertical stroke. The character can be found at code point 0xEA in ISCII and at U+0964 in Unicode which renders as "।" if Unicode support is installed.
In Hindi, the danda marks the end of a sentence, a function which it shares with the full stop (period) in many written languages based on the Latin, Cyrillic, or Greek alphabets.
Because of the shape of the danda glyph, the word danda is also a slang term for penis.
