This character is a Other Punctuation and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script. The character is also known as erotimatiko.
The glyph is a canonical version of the glyph Semicolon. It has no designated width in East Asian texts. In bidirectional text it acts as Other Neutral. When changing direction it is not mirrored. It will not end a sentence. U+037E prohibits a line break after it, and before it, too, if preceded by a number. The glyph can be confused with one other glyph.
