Punctuation Marks

General Punctuation Marks

For additional clarity, HIE 1.0 formally recognizes the Interrobang, "‽", along with utilizing the following unique punctuation marks. These additional symbols are extreamily helpful when communicating in a purly written form to avoid the reader from misconstruing the feeling behind your statements without being forced into using emoji, which are considdered unprofessional in many environments.

  • Positron ⊕ (General Positive Exclamation - excited, etc.)
  • Negatron ⊝ (General Negative Exclamation - nervous, etc.)
  • Interrobang ‽ (Exclamatory question)
  • Barb ⥌ (Sarcasm)
  • Cloud ߷ (Apology, regret)
  • Ankh ☥ (Joy, happiness)
  • Tear ⫯ (Sadness/Grief)
  • Diamond ⋄ (Joking)
  • Rage ♮ (Anger)
  • Tremor ⨔ (Fear)

Context Marks: ⌜ and ⌟

The Context Marks ⌜ and ⌟ are optional unvoiced undertones. They indicate the manner of speech. They are limited to one word, and are used at the start of a sentence.

Example: "⌜confused⌟ Go away."

Example: "⌜decisive⌟ Go away."

Titles: 《 , 》

The Title Marks 《 , 》are borrowed from Chinese. They are used to identify a title, newspaper name, file name, opera name, song name, picture name, book name, the name of film and television programs, etc.

Example: The book, 《The Hobbit》 was written by J.R.R.Tolkien.

Certitude Marks: ∵ & ∴

Certitude Marks come in two forms: ∴ (Certainty), and ∵ (Uncertanty). They are unvoiced in reading. They indicate the certainty of the writer.

Example #1 ∴Jon is a liar.∴ This this indicates that the writer/speaker is utterly certain of the fact that Jon tells lies.

Example #2 "Jon is a liar." This carries no qualifications or knowledge about writer/speaker's knowledge of Jon's honesty.

Example:3 ∵Joh is a liar.∵ This this indicates that the writer/speaker is doubtful, and the sentence carries little weight.

Combined Punctuation Example

Jill grinned at him, "⌜flirtatious⌟ Go away⋄"

Jon responded, "I knew you didn't like me⨔ I... I'll go߷"

"Wait⊝ Surely you knew I was kidding‽ ⌜earnest⌟ I love you, Jon! Don't go⫯"

Jon stared at her a moment, then blinked. ∴You toy with my emotions, Jill♮ You know I am so very good at reading other people's emotions that you play your little games with my heart⥌ ⌜loud⌟ No longer⊝∴ Jack stormed out the door.
