Wiggly Vertical Line Symbol Meaning
⸾ (Unicode U+2E3E), named WIGGLY VERTICAL LINE, is a punctuation character designed to look like a vertical line with a wavy or “wiggly” form. In practice, people use it as a typographic accent: a subtle separator in headings, a visual divider in lists, or a decorative marker in captions and UI text. Because it’s categorized as punctuation, it tends to work best with text contexts rather than as a standalone icon. Its exact appearance can vary by font, but its role is consistently to provide a more organic-looking divider than a straight bar.
Common uses
- •Use as a decorative separator in headings or subheadings
- •Add visual rhythm in list layouts (e.g., between short phrases)
- •Create callout markers or dividers in posters and flyers
- •Enhance user interface text where a subtle divider is needed
- •Style captions or quotes with a unique punctuation-like accent
