History & usage: The RAISED COMMA is a punctuation mark with the codepoint U+2E34. It sits in the Supplemental Punctuation block. This character is a distinct symbol used to indicate a pause or a special tone in text. Its job is to modify how a sentence reads, much like other marks that guide rhythm and emphasis. The mark is named for its raised appearance, which sets it apart from ordinary commas. In practice, writers use it to signal subtle shifts in meaning or to separate elements in a line with a formal or decorative feel. Because writing styles vary, the exact rules for using the RAISED COMMA differ by style and locale. Some traditions may treat it as a historical or typographic feature, while others may use it for modern display or scholarly work. Across contexts, the value of this symbol lies in its ability to structure text and convey tone. When readers encounter it, they receive a cue about pacing and intention that goes beyond ordinary punctuation.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2E34
in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.
Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
