mongolian comma

Mongolian Comma

᠂ is the Mongolian comma, traditional Mongolian-script punctuation for a short break inside a sentence. It separates linked clauses and listed parts so vertical Mongolian-script text stays readable. Copy it from the palette above; a Latin comma is a different character.

What ᠂ means

It marks a short break inside a Mongolian-script sentence. It separates linked clauses and coordinated parts so the reader can follow the syntax. It adds no emphasis, irony, or emotion; it is ordinary punctuation for traditional Mongolian-script and Todo writing.

Why is this different from a regular comma?

It is a script-specific comma, not a font variant. In traditional Mongolian punctuation it belongs with the full stop and four dots, while Todo writing later divided: early Todo followed Mongolian punctuation, and Since the beginning of the 20th century Xinjiang Todo publications also used Chinese punctuation. So a different comma can signal a different tradition, not a mistake.

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.
