U+3190 "㆐" Ideographic Annotation Linking Mark Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
㆐
U+3190 "㆐" Ideographic Annotation Linking Mark is a specialized punctuation mark used in traditional Chinese and Japanese text annotation, specifically within the context of the 注音符号 (Zhuyin Fuhao) or ruby annotation systems. It serves to link two or more adjacent ideographic characters that are meant to be read together as a single semantic or phonetic unit, often clarifying that the annotated text should be interpreted as a compound word or phrase rather than as separate elements. This mark is part of the CJK Compatibility Ideographs block in Unicode, designed to preserve the visual and functional integrity of historical and scholarly documents where such annotations are critical for accurate reading.
