In the [Character Usage app](https://r12a.github.io/app-charuse/index.html?charlist=%E0%A5%A4%E0%A5%A5) i found 13 languages that use । and 8 that use ॥. These languages use 7 scripts that would fit under the IIP purvue. My orthography notes only indicate relationships to spaces for 2 languages: a. Hindi. I looked at a few style guides for Hindi (eg. for authors in Microsoft, etc.) and [my conclusion](https://r12a.github.io/scripts/deva/hi.html?showIndex#phrase) was: A number of Hindi style guides consulted require that the danda follow the last letter in the sentence, with no intervening space. b. Odia. Here a space is expected before । because otherwise [it can be confused with a vowel](https://r12a.github.io/scripts/orya/or.html?showIndex#phrase). Lepcha has it's own version of these punctuation marks. (Several southeast asian scripts also have their own punctuation that looks like the dandas, and other punctuation besides which may have a special relationship with spaces - eg. [the Thai repetition marker](https://r12a.github.io/scripts/thai/th.html?showIndex#repetition).) -- GitHub Notification of comment by r12a Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/iip/issues/88#issuecomment-1898133982 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
