U+FE50 "﹐" Small Comma Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+FE50 "﹐" Small Comma is a punctuation mark used primarily in East Asian typography, particularly in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean text, where it serves as a smaller, vertical-space-saving variant of the standard comma. It belongs to the CJK Compatibility block, which includes characters derived from pre-encoded standards to ensure consistent appearance across different fonts and platforms, especially in vertical writing layouts. Unlike the full-width comma found in typical East Asian scripts, the Small Comma is narrower and often aligns with the baseline of characters in mixed or horizontal settings, providing a more compact alternative for certain text formatting needs. Its usage is not as widespread as the regular comma, but it remains important for specific legacy or stylized digital documents.
