CJK Symbols and Punctuation is a Unicode block containing symbols and punctuation used for writing the Chinese, Japanese and Korean languages. It also contains one Chinese character.

| Note: [1][2] In Unicode 1.0.1, during the process of unifying with ISO 10646, the "IDEOGRAPHIC DITTO MARK" (仝) was unified with the unified ideograph at U 4EDD, allowing the Japanese Industrial Standard symbol to be moved from U 32FF in the Enclosed CJK Letters and Months block to the vacated code point at U 3004.[3] | |

Notes
| ||||||||||||||||
The block has variation sequences defined for East Asian punctuation positional variants.[4][5] They use U FE00 VARIATION SELECTOR-1 (VS01) and U FE01 VARIATION SELECTOR-2 (VS02):
| U | 3001 | 3002 | Description |
| base code point | 、 | 。 | |
| base VS01 | 、︀ | 。︀ | corner-justified form |
| base VS02 | 、︁ | 。︁ | centered form |
Orientation
editQuotation marks and other punctuation have expected differences in behaviour in vertical and horizontal text. The quotation marks 「...」, 『...』 and 〝...〟 rotate 90 degrees, as follows:
See also General Punctuation, for variation selectors and CJK behaviour of the Latin quotation marks ‘...’ and “...”.
Chinese character
editThe CJK Symbols and Punctuation block contains one Chinese character: U 3007 〇 IDEOGRAPHIC NUMBER ZERO. Although it is not covered under "Unified Ideographs", it is treated as a CJK character for all other intents and purposes.[6]
Emoji
editThe CJK Symbols and Punctuation block contains two emoji: U 3030 and U 303D.[7][8]
The block has four standardized variants defined to specify emoji-style (U FE0F VS16) or text presentation (U FE0E VS15) for the two emoji, both of which default to a text presentation.[9]
| U | 3030 | 303D |
| base code point | 〰 | 〽 |
| base VS15 (text) | 〰︎ | 〽︎ |
| base VS16 (emoji) | 〰️ | 〽️ |
History
editIn Unicode 1.0.1, two changes were made to this block in order to make Unicode 1.0.1 a proper subset of ISO 10646:[10][11][12]
- U 3004 IDEOGRAPHIC DITTO MARK was merged with U 4EDD (仝) in the CJK Unified Ideographs block, freeing up code point U 3004
- U 32FF JAPANESE INDUSTRIAL STANDARD SYMBOL was moved from the Enclosed CJK Letters and Months block to U 3004 (〄)
