U+2E06 "⸆" Raised Interpolation Marker Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+2E06 "⸆" Raised Interpolation Marker is a typographical symbol used primarily in scholarly and editorial contexts to indicate an insertion or an addition made within a quoted text. Unlike the more common caret (^) which is typically placed below the line, this raised marker sits above the baseline and is employed in critical editions and transcriptions to mark where an interpolated word or phrase has been added, often in reference to corrections or annotations in ancient or medieval manuscripts. Its specific design and elevated position help distinguish it from other insertion marks, ensuring clarity in complex textual apparatus.
