U+4E36 "丶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
丶
U+4E36 "丶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a small dot or stroke that functions both as a standalone character and as a fundamental component in East Asian writing systems, particularly in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Known as "zhǔ" in Mandarin and often called a "dot" or "emphasis mark" in English, it historically represents the radical for "dot" or "point" and is used in calligraphy as a basic brushstroke. In modern usage, it can serve as a punctuation-like mark for emphasis in classical texts or appear as a part of larger characters, but it is distinct from the similar-looking "、" (ideographic comma) and remains relatively rare as a standalone character in everyday writing.
