Bullet point

、

The Chinese bullet point or dunhao ( 頓號 / 顿号 , dùnhào ) is a special comma that is used in Chinese script to separate the individual members of a bulleted series from one another. It has the Unicode number U + 3001 (block Unicode block CJK symbols and punctuation ) with the symbol designation Ideographic Comma ('Ideographic comma'). The Unicode name for it is misleading in that the Chinese script is not an ideographic script , i.e. H. no conceptual writing is.

The common comma (“，” or “,”) is called douhao ( 逗號 / 逗号 , dòuhào ) in Chinese .

The comma with the Unicode number U + 3001 has a different function in Japanese and is called tōten ( 読点 ).
