U+2E34
⸴ (raised comma) is a Unicode punctuation character used in fine typography. It appears as a comma-like mark raised above the baseline, helping convey editorial or stylistic punctuation. Use it when your text needs more than a standard comma.
Raised Comma Symbol Meaning
The raised comma (⸴, U+2E34) is a punctuation character designed for typographic use where the visual position of the comma matters. Unlike the ordinary comma “,” which sits on the baseline, the raised form is typically used to match specific typographic conventions, such as editorial notation or stylistic punctuation in carefully set text. You can use it in headings, captions, or body text when you want the punctuation to appear raised for a particular design or formatting requirement. Because it’s a dedicated Unicode character, it’s preferable to manually simulating the effect with custom CSS or images.
Common uses
- •Use in typographic/editorial text that calls for a raised comma mark instead of a standard comma

- •Use in academic or reference-style writing to follow a particular house style
- •Insert into designed quotes, titles, or captions where raised punctuation improves visual rhythm
- •Include in template content for consistent punctuation across a website or publication
