U+22F1 Down Right Diagonal Ellipsis

U+22F1 was added in Unicode version 1.1 in 1993. It belongs to the block U+2200 to U+22FF Mathematical Operators in the U+0000 to U+FFFF Basic Multilingual Plane.

This character is a Math Symbol and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script.

The glyph is not a composition. It has no designated width in East Asian texts. In bidirectional text it acts as Other Neutral. When changing direction it is mirrored into Glyph for U+22F0 Up Right Diagonal Ellipsis. The word that U+22F1 forms with similar adjacent characters prevents a line break inside it.

The CLDR project calls this character “down right diagonal ellipsis” for use in screen reading software. It assigns these additional labels, e.g. for search in emoji pickers: ellipsis, mathematics.

The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:

The ellipsis ... (; also known informally as dot dot dot) is a series of dots that indicates an intentional omission of a word, sentence, or whole section from a text without altering its original meaning. The plural is ellipses. The term originates from the Ancient Greek: ἔλλειψις, élleipsis meaning 'leave out'.

Opinions differ as to how to render ellipses in printed material. According to The Chicago Manual of Style, it should consist of three periods, each separated from its neighbor by a non-breaking space: . . .. According to the AP Stylebook, the periods should be rendered with no space between them: .... A third option is to use the composed glyph U+2026 … HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS.
