===Abbreviation mark===
Written Swedish uses colons in [[contraction (grammar)|contractions]], such as ''S:t'' for ''Sankt'' (Swedish for "Saint") – for example in the name of the [[Stockholm metro]] station ''[[Sankt Eriksplan metro station|S:t Eriksplan]]'', and ''k:a'' for ''kyrka'' ("church") – for instance [[Svenska kyrkan|Svenska k:a]] (Svenska kyrkan), the Evangelical Lutheran national Church of Sweden. This can even occur in people's names, for example [[Antonia Ax:son Johnson]] (''[[Ax:son Johnson family|Ax:son]]'' for ''Axelson'').
