U+0589 "։" Armenian Full Stop Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
։
U+0589 "։" Armenian Full Stop is a punctuation mark used in the Armenian script to denote the end of a sentence, functioning similarly to a period in the Latin alphabet. It appears as a vertically aligned colon-like symbol, with two small dots stacked one above the other, rather than the horizontal dot of a standard full stop. This distinctive character is essential for proper Armenian typography and is found in both Eastern and Western Armenian writing systems.
