| Note: 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. | |
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.

Notes
| ||||||||||||||||
The block has variation sequences defined for East Asian punctuation positional variants. 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
Quotation 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
The 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.
Emoji
The CJK Symbols and Punctuation block contains two emoji: U+3030 and U+303D.
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.
| U+ | 3030 | 303D |
| base code point | 〰 | 〽 |
| base+VS15 (text) | 〰︎ | 〽︎ |
| base+VS16 (emoji) | 〰️ | 〽️ |
History
In 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:
- 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 (〄)
The following Unicode-related documents record the purpose and process of defining specific characters in the CJK Symbols and Punctuation block:
