U+FE19 "︙" Presentation Form for Vertical Horizontal Ellipsis Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

︙

U+FE19 "︙" Presentation Form for Vertical Horizontal Ellipsis is a compatibility variant of the standard horizontal ellipsis (U+2026 "…"), specifically designed for use in East Asian vertical text layouts, where it rotates the three dots by 90 degrees to create a vertical line of dots that signifies omission or continuation in a downward direction. This character is part of the CJK Compatibility Forms block, which contains glyphs that were encoded to preserve roundtrip conversion with legacy character sets, meaning it is not typically required for modern text but remains available for precise output in certain vertical writing systems. In horizontal text, it visually appears as a standard ellipsis, while in vertical text it assumes its rotated form, ensuring consistent meaning across both orientations.
