Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+2E12 "⸒" Hypodiastole is a historical punctuation mark used primarily in ancient Greek and Latin texts to indicate a word division or a slight pause, functioning much like a modern comma or interpunct. It was originally employed to separate words that might otherwise be confused, such as in scriptio continua where spaces were absent. Though rarely used in contemporary writing, it has been preserved in Unicode for scholarly and typographic accuracy in reproducing classical manuscripts.
