U+301C Wave Dash

U+301C was added in Unicode version 1.1 in 1993. It belongs to the block U+3000 to U+303F CJK Symbols and Punctuation in the U+0000 to U+FFFF Basic Multilingual Plane.

This character is a Dash Punctuation and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script. It is also used in the scripts Bopomofo, Hangul, Han, Hiragana, Katakana.

The glyph is not a composition. Its East Asian Width is wide. In bidirectional text it acts as Other Neutral. When changing direction it is not mirrored. U+301C prohibits line breaks before its position. There might be some exceptions, though. The glyph can be confused with one other glyph.

The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:

Wave dash (U+301C 〜 WAVE DASH) is a character represented in Japanese character encoding, usually used to represent a range. The wave dash is similar to, but not the same as, the tilde character (U+FF5E ～ FULLWIDTH TILDE), which is often used interchangeably with it.
The vertical wave dash () is not currently included in Unicode, but there is a similar symbol available called the wavy line (U+2307 ⌇ WAVY LINE). It is created by rotating right (clockwise) the wavy dash symbol (U+3030 〰 WAVY DASH) to form a vertical wave-like pattern.
Wave dash is also written in vertical text layout. Vertical wave dash is the vertical form by rotation and flip in Unicode and JIS C 6226.
