U+3003 "〃" Ditto Mark Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
〃
U+3003 "〃" Ditto Mark is a typographic symbol used primarily in East Asian scripts, such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, to indicate that the text directly above or before it should be repeated. It is typically employed in vertical or horizontal lists, tables, or formal documents to avoid rewriting identical words, characters, or phrases, much like the quotation mark ditto sign in Western typography but designed to align with the spacing and structure of CJK characters. The mark is distinct from a regular double quotation mark and is classified under the CJK Symbols and Punctuation block, serving as a concise visual cue for repetition in written language.
