Parameters

• {{Punctuation marks in Unicode/row}}
• {{Punctuation marks in Unicode/row-pair}} -- for pair Ps-Pe (brackets); Pi-Pf (quotes)

|cp=        code point, hex. Determines Character as shown, Name, anchors. Use normalised "000A" (uppercase) notation.

|link=      link to article, will link from (first) name; optional

|gencat=    Generic Category, Px by list definition

|script=    character script property

|style=     large → double cell height, for example § U+104C: ၌

|technote=  maintenance info: is pair, is unbalanced pair, is vertical pair

|style, technote= are shown in {{/testcases}}

For pairs (Pi-Pf quotes; Ps-Pe brackets); use {{../row-pair}}:

|cp2=       second code point

|gencat2=   second generic category (expected: Pf or Pe)

|script2, link2= unused, do not exist

|char= present for tests, could be removed when stable

{{Punctuation marks in Unicode/row
| cp       =
| link     =
| gencat   =
| script   =
| style    =
| technote =
| cp2      =
| gencat2  =
}}

Note: |char= is for checks only, might be removed later on.

|TOC=yes will show table-TOC

• {{Punctuation marks in Unicode/subheader}}

|gencat=

Anchors

• All marks are anchored twice: U+00B6, ¶ (= as entity value and as character)

cp=00B6 → § U+00B6, [entity ¶] § ¶, char ⟨¶⟩: § ¶

Template:Punctuation marks in Unicode#U+00B6

cp=2995 → § U+2995, entity: § ⦕, char: § ⦕

Template:Punctuation marks in Unicode#U+2995

cp=2996 → § U+2996, entity: § ⦖, char: § ⦖

Template:Punctuation marks in Unicode#U+2996

When possible, notation U+00B6 is preferred (first code point of a pair). Result is nicer arrival (top of tablerow)
