Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+FE14 "︔" Presentation Form for Vertical Semicolon is a typographic variant of the standard semicolon designed specifically for use in vertical text layouts, common in traditional East Asian writing systems such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. While the regular semicolon is used to separate independent clauses in horizontal writing, this presentation form is rotated or repositioned to maintain correct visual alignment and readability when the text is composed in a top to bottom orientation. It belongs to the "CJK Compatibility Forms" block, which contains characters that ensure proper glyph rendering across different writing directions without altering the fundamental grammatical function of the punctuation mark.
