are there unicode guidelines on how to encode a single‐ or double‐dot ellipsis

@Satsuma in japanese the period character is ‹ 。 ›, so they can and do use ordinary periods as single dot ellipses

@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

Follow

@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.
