U+2E35 "⸵" Turned Semicolon Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⸵
U+2E35 "⸵" Turned Semicolon is a punctuation mark found in the Supplemental Punctuation block, designed as a mirrored or rotated version of the standard semicolon. Its primary purpose is to serve as an archaic or stylistic punctuation variant in certain historical texts or fonts, sometimes used in linguistic or editorial contexts to denote a pause or separation with a distinct visual emphasis. While rarely encountered in modern writing, it remains encoded in Unicode for the sake of preserving historical typography and supporting specialized academic or typesetting applications.
