Editing Iteration mark (section)

==Chinese==
In [[Chinese language|Chinese]], {{lang|zh|𠄠}}  or {{Unichar|16FE3|Old Chinese Iteration Mark}} (usually appearing as {{lang|zh|〻}}, equivalent to the modern ideograph {{Char|二}}) or {{lang|zh|々}} is used in casual writing to represent a doubled character. However, it is not used in formal writing anymore, and it rarely appeared in printed matter. In a tabulated table or list, vertical repetition can be represented by a [[ditto mark]] ({{lang|zh|〃}}).

===History===
Iteration marks have been occasionally used for more than two thousand years in [[China]]. The example image shows an inscription in [[bronze script]], a variety of formal writing dating to the [[Zhou dynasty]], that ends with {{lang|zh|"子<sub>𠄠</sub>孫<sub>𠄠</sub>寶用"}}, where the small {{lang|zh|𠄠}} ("two") is used as iteration marks in the phrase {{lang|zh|"子子孫孫寶用"}} ("descendants to use and to treasure").
