U+0387 "·" Greek Ano Teleia Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
·
U+0387 "·" Greek Ano Teleia is a punctuation mark used in modern Greek writing, functioning as a high dot or middle dot that serves an equivalent role to the English semicolon or sometimes a colon, indicating a stronger break than a comma but less final than a period. Positioned at the mid-line level of the text rather than on the baseline, it appears as a single centered dot and is distinct from the similar-looking interpunct (U+00B7) due to its specific Greek typographic context and usage rules. This character is a standard element of Greek punctuation, helping to clarify sentence structure and list items in formal and informal texts alike.
