U+2E3D "⸽" Vertical Six Dots is a typographic punctuation mark used primarily in historical and scholarly texts to indicate a significant break or omission in the text, often functioning similarly to a vertical ellipsis. It can also appear in certain dictionary or reference works to separate sections or entries, and its design of three pairs of vertically stacked dots gives it a distinct visual presence that differs from the horizontal ellipsis.
