U+2E20 "⸠" Left Vertical Bar with Quill Unicode Character

U+2E20 "⸠" Left Vertical Bar with Quill is a specialized punctuation mark found in the Supplementary Punctuation block, used historically in medieval and early modern manuscripts to indicate a gloss or marginal note, often resembling a vertical line with a small flourish or nib at the top, evocative of a quill pen. Its design serves as a visual cue for readers to look at the commentary or annotation referenced alongside the main text, and it is distinguished from other vertical bars by its calligraphic detail. This character helps preserve the typographic conventions of scholarly and religious works, particularly in contexts where scribes needed to mark significant textual interpolations without disrupting the flow of the primary writing. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures accurate digital representation of these historical documents and scholarly editions.
