Source: Noto Sans Source: Browser Default

U+2E2B "" One Dot over Two Dots Punctuation is a specialized glyph belonging to the Supplemental Punctuation block, designed for use in historical and linguistic texts. It visually consists of a single dot placed above two horizontally aligned dots, creating a triangular or stacked mark that served as a punctuation symbol in certain medieval manuscripts or annotated editions. This character is typically employed to denote a specific type of pause, separation, or editorial annotation, particularly in scholarly reproductions of ancient or religious writings where conventional modern punctuation would be anachronistic or misleading. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that digital representations of these texts can accurately preserve the original scribal conventions for researchers, editors, and archivists.
