U+1808 "᠈" Mongolian Manchu Comma Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
᠈
U+1808 "᠈" Mongolian Manchu Comma is a punctuation mark used in the traditional Mongolian and Manchu scripts to indicate a short pause or separation between clauses or items in a list, similar to how a comma functions in the Latin script. Unlike many other commas in Unicode, this character is specifically designed to align with the vertical writing orientation of Mongolian and Manchu text, where script typically flows from top to bottom and left to right. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures that digital representations of these historical and modern scripts can maintain proper punctuation, preserving the typographic conventions of the Mongolian and Manchu languages.
