U+3006 "〆" Ideographic Closing Mark Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+3006 "〆" Ideographic Closing Mark is a unique CJK symbol used primarily in Japanese and Chinese writing to indicate closure, finality, or the end of a document, letter, or section. It is often handwritten at the conclusion of a personal letter or business correspondence, functioning similarly to a closing mark or a seal of completion, though it is not a standard punctuation mark. The character resembles a stylized combination of the katakana "メ" (me) and a cross, and its usage extends to marking tasks as finished or sealing envelopes in traditional contexts.
