Source: Browser Default
U+2E21 "⸡" Right Vertical Bar with Quill is a historic punctuation mark used primarily in early modern English and German printed texts, where it served as a typographic variant of the comma or a short pause, often appearing in handwritten manuscripts to indicate a brief break in phrasing. Its design features a vertical line with a small quill or hook at the bottom, distinguishing it from the standard vertical bar. This character belongs to the Supplemental Punctuation block and is rarely used in contemporary writing, but it remains of interest to scholars studying the evolution of punctuation and calligraphic conventions in Renaissance-era documents.
