U+1362 "።" Ethiopic Full Stop is a punctuation mark used in the Geʽez script, which is employed to write several languages of Ethiopia and Eritrea, such as Amharic, Tigrinya, and Geʽez itself. This character functions as a sentence terminal, similar to a period or full stop in Latin scripts, indicating the end of a declarative or imperative sentence. It visually appears as four dots arranged in a vertical line, distinguishing it from other Ethiopic punctuation like the colon or section mark, and its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures consistent digital representation and text processing across modern computing systems.
