You will find the numeral "2", which is the sign you are looking for, on p. 46 (sub. "1.8. Zahlzeichen"). It is not a special character, but simply means 'two times' or 'repetition' (of the preceding akṣaras).

Dear all,

Have others come across a "ditto" sign in śāradā script like the one below (both from f. 409v of this ms: https://digital.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/objects/ce67e97d-d171-43d2-ba96-fcfb9802d6f8/surfaces/2c52f260-a856-49ca-94d5-ec00372c0edd/):

 line 13 edu DITTO devī

line 14 jayadu DITTO 

I checked Slaje's book on the śāradā script but didn't see anything (of course I could have missed it!).

Thanks!

All the Best,

Victor
