Black Rightwards Bullet

⁍ is a right-pointing bullet: it can mark a list item or separate text while pointing to what follows. A 1998 Unicode proposal treats it and its left-pointing partner as general-purpose punctuation; printer’s signature marks—used to track folded groups of pages in early books—are a separate topic.

What ⁍ means

⁍ is the black rightwards bullet. Unicode classifies it as punctuation and files it in the General Punctuation block; this site shelves it under Punctuation.

Its appearance depends on the font and text styling.

How it is encoded

⁍ is a single code point, U+204D. In HTML that is ⁍, and in CSS \204D.

Why does ⁍ show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
