Source: Noto Sans Source: Browser Default

U+003B ";" Semicolon is a punctuation mark that serves primarily as a grammatical separator in writing. In English and many other languages, it is used to link closely related independent clauses within a single sentence, offering a stronger break than a comma but a weaker one than a period. Additionally, the semicolon functions as a list separator in complex series where individual items already contain commas, and in various programming and data languages it acts as a statement terminator or delimiter. Its standardized code point ensures consistent representation across digital systems, from text documents to source code.
