are there unicode guidelines on how to encode a single‐ or double‐dot ellipsis
@Lady single dot ellipsis.
@Satsuma in japanese the period character is ‹ 。 ›, so they can and do use ordinary periods as single dot ellipses
@Lady does Japanese have commas
@Satsuma yes, ‹ 、 ›
in chinese, the above comma is only used for enumeration of items in a list, and ‹ ， › is used for commas e.g. between phrases. japanese writing i think can feature both but i don’t think there are as firm of rules in place.
@Satsuma this is actually a bit unconventional for two reasons: (1) japanese ellipses don’t typically use fullwidth periods like that, and (2) typically they are centred on the line rather than placed on the baseline
@Satsuma screenshots from link’s awakening:
1. note the open square at the end of the first line; this is a full stop
2. single‐dot ellipsis
