Unicode Version 17.0
⸕
U+2E15 "⸕" Upwards Ancora is a specialized punctuation mark belonging to the Supplemental Punctuation block, used primarily in historical and liturgical texts. It resembles an upward-pointing anchor symbol and was employed in ancient manuscripts as a nota bene marker or editorial sign to indicate a notable passage or correction. Its design mirrors the "ancora" (anchor) symbol’s traditional role in marginalia, pointing upward to draw attention to the text above, and it remains part of the Unicode standard to preserve such scribal conventions for digital representation.
