=== Korean === Interpuncts are used in written Korean to denote a list of two or more words, similarly to how a [[Slash (punctuation)|slash]] (/) is used to juxtapose words in many other languages. In this role it also functions in a similar way to the English [[en dash]], as in {{lang|ko|미·소관계}}, "American–Soviet relations". The use of interpuncts has declined in years of digital typography and especially in place of slashes, but, in the strictest sense, a slash cannot replace a middle dot in Korean typography. {{unichar|318D|Hangul letter araea}} ({{lang|ko|아래아}}) is used more than a middle dot when an interpunct is to be used in Korean typography, though ''araea'' is technically not a punctuation symbol but actually an [[Hangul#Obsolete letters|obsolete Hangul ''jamo'']]. Because ''araea'' is a [[full-width]] letter, it looks better than middle dot between Hangul. In addition, it is drawn like the middle dot in Windows default Korean fonts such as ''[[Ming (typeface)|Batang]]''.
