https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E2%80%BB Komejirushi The komejirushi (※; Japanese: こめじるし or 米印) is a punctuation mark, that is used in Japanese and in Korean (known as 참고표). The name literally means "rice symbol", indicating the similarity to the kanji for rice; 米. It is used to call attention to an important sentence or thought, like a prologue or footnote. In contrast to the European asterisk, it is not used for connecting a specific place in the text directly to the footnote, but rather for notes directly before or after the passage. In Unicode the komejirushi is available at code point U+203B "REFERENCE MARK". The symbol is also used to denote contradictions in mathematical proofs. > > Before this thread, I didn't know Debian's xterm had come so far. > > That's surely a good thing. > > Tell *me*.
