U+2E4A "⹊" Dotted Solidus Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⹊
U+2E4A "⹊" Dotted Solidus is a punctuation mark used primarily in medieval and early modern manuscript transcriptions, representing a dotted form of the solidus or slash. It functions as a scribal abbreviation or editorial notation, often indicating a pause or break within text, similar to a modern comma or short mark of punctuation. This character is part of the Supplemental Punctuation block and is distinct from the ordinary solidus due to its diacritical dot, which modifies its syntactic role in philological and historical notations.
