This is a glyph for the beginning of an area, which is surrounded by three points of darkness and one point of light. The point of light is situated in the cardinal direction east. Hence, this symbol makes specific reference to an area located to the east.

Comments:
This is Mahadevan's sign number 1074, which I have redrawn to better reflect the original.
Note the alignment, in this Indus sign, of the point of light at east with the left-hand side of the point of darkness at north. The position may have been chosen to avoid confusion with the symbol for dusk.
