U+2E31 Word Separator Middle Dot

Die Wikipedia hat die folgende Information zu diesem Codepunkt:

In punctuation, a word divider is a form of glyph which separates written words. In languages which use the Latin, Cyrillic, and Arabic alphabets, as well as other scripts of Europe and West Asia, the word divider is a blank space, or whitespace. This convention is spreading, along with other aspects of European punctuation, to Asia and Africa, where words are usually written without word separation.

In character encoding, word segmentation depends on which characters are defined as word dividers.
