List of typographical symbols and punctuation marks

Typographical symbols and punctuation marks are marks and symbols used in typography with a variety of purposes such as to help with legibility and accessibility, or to identify special cases. This list gives those most commonly encountered with Latin script. For a far more comprehensive list of symbols and signs, see List of Unicode characters. For other languages and symbol sets (especially in mathematics and science), see below.

In this table,

  • The first cell in each row gives a symbol;
  • The second is a link to the article that details that symbol, using its Unicode standard name or common alias. (Holding the mouse pointer on the hyperlink will pop up a summary of the symbol's function.);
  • The third gives symbols listed elsewhere in the table that are similar to it in meaning or appearance, or that may be confused with it;
  • The fourth (if present) links to the related article(s) or adds a clarification note.
