Typography and punctuation

Characters used everywhere

[edit]

I frequently make a use of following characters, which is not mentioned in MoSes.

][ ][ – thin space and hair space (usually in {{math}} or so)

  – the non-breaking thin space, sometimes used outside {{math}}, such as in 2 × 2

 – ellipsis, a punctuation mark

· – interpunct, sometimes used (inside <!-- -->) for stuffing very short pages (encoded in 3 bytes)

]​[ – zero-width space, sometimes used to control closing curly brackets in a template’s argument, such as in {x}​, and other situations where one has to fool the engine

Characters used outside the article space only

[edit]

 – typographic apostrophe, used in discussions and especially useful in edit summaries because of unpredictable rendering of U+0027 ' APOSTROPHE in italic text

“ ” – double curly quotes, used similarly
