History & usage: The character depicts the official name LARGE DOWN TACK. The tokens DOWN and TACK indicate a directional relation and a mark used in typography. The modifier LARGE signals a size difference rather than a distinct symbol form. In orthography and typography, such name tokens convey a functional role (size, position, or type of mark) and help readers and typesetters compare symbols across styles and editions. The pair of words also guides scholars when cataloging shapes, assembling type specimens, and describing icons in reference works.
