Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans Source: Browser Default

U+2026 "" Horizontal Ellipsis is a typographic symbol consisting of three evenly spaced dots used to indicate an intentional omission of words or a trailing off of thought in written text. It is distinct from simply typing three periods because it is a single character with consistent spacing, which avoids awkward line breaks and maintains a polished appearance in digital and printed media. Commonly employed in quotations, dialogue, or informal writing, it signals a pause, hesitation, or that content has been left out, and its standardized encoding ensures reliable rendering across different platforms and fonts.
