    Some notes:

    The Limbu double danda shows little visual differentiation
    from the Devanagari double danda - it seems shorter, but
    it's difficult to separate font-related from script related
    effects here.

    If the text sample is typical, it would seem that it is used
    quite frequently in ordinary text in Limbu, while dandas in
    other scripts were claimed to be used only in special
    contexts.
