U+2E33 "⸳" Raised Dot Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+2E33 "⸳" Raised Dot is a punctuation mark that appears as a small dot positioned higher than a standard period, typically aligning with the x-height of surrounding text. It is part of the Supplemental Punctuation block and is used in historical and specialized typographic contexts, such as in medieval manuscripts or as a middle dot in certain linguistic or scholarly notations. Unlike the standard interpunct or bullet, the Raised Dot is specifically designed for inline use where a subtle, elevated separation is required, and it is distinct from other dot characters in its precise vertical placement and width.
