History & usage: The character 60C, known in English as ARABIC COMMA, belongs to the Arabic block and is in the Common script. In text, it acts as a punctuation mark. It helps structure sentences and separates items. It can convey a pause or show tone when reading aloud. Writers use it to mark a soft break or show tone end, depending on the language. The usage depends on style and locale, and different traditions may treat it differently. In some regions, it appears where a comma would be used in Latin scripts, while in others it may have distinct spacing or punctuation rules. When you type or encode text, place the ARABIC COMMA where the sentence would naturally pause. It helps readers parse meaning and rhythm. For learners, focus on how it fits with nearby words and punctuation. Remember that punctuation often changes with the writing system. The ARABIC COMMA is part of how the text feels, not just how it is read.
