U+1367 "፧" Ethiopic Question Mark Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
፧
U+1367 "፧" Ethiopic Question Mark is a punctuation mark used in the Geʽez script, which is employed for writing several languages of the Horn of Africa, including Amharic and Tigrinya. Unlike the standard Latin question mark, this character appears as three vertically stacked dots, resembling a colon with an extra dot, and it serves to indicate a question in written text. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that digital representations of Ethiopic languages can correctly convey interrogative sentences, preserving the distinct typographic tradition of the script.
