Gujarati uses full stop to represent the end of the sentence. However if the user wants to use the danda or double danda, as per to Unicode recommendation, they have to come from Devanagari block of Unicode. Devanagari phrase separator । U+0964 DEVANAGARI DANDA or ॥ U+0965 DEVANAGARI DOUBLE DANDA are encoded in the DEVANAGARI block with the intent that they should be used as common punctuation for all the major scripts of India including Gujarati.
The properties of purna viram and deergh viram should be the same as the properties of FullStop or other punctuation marks, and a new line should not begin with purna viram and deergh viram.

Dandas are already Break After (BA) in UAX #14 (see section “Dandas”), the class for general closing characters.
A long-standing issue though, is if dandas should be further specified to behave like Exclamation/Interrogation (EX) so a preceding space (it’s a common style to surround dandas with a pair of spaces, like the French way of typesetting question and exclamation marks) doesn’t cause a linebreak either. This issue ticket may be actually referring to that situation.
