Hangzhou Numeral Nine

Hangzhou Numeral Nine is a punctuation mark used in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean text, following typographic conventions distinct from Western punctuation — often full-width in character spacing to match CJK ideographs.

Unicode block: CJK Symbols and Punctuation (U+3000–U+303F). This block provides punctuation marks specific to Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) typography, which historically developed distinct conventions from Western punctuation for spacing, quotation, and emphasis.

At Unicode code point U+3029 (decimal 12329), Hangzhou Numeral Nine is the 42nd of 64 characters cataloged in this category on How To Type Any Symbol. In terms of typing methods, like most characters outside the 0–255 legacy codepage range, it has no dedicated Alt-code or single-key shortcut on Windows or Mac, so copy-paste is the standard, universal method for typing it. Regardless of platform, clicking the copy button above places the exact character on your clipboard, ready to paste into any application that accepts Unicode text.

💡 Good to know: Word processors and IMEs (input method editors) for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean usually insert this automatically as part of native-language typing — manual copy-paste is mainly needed when typing CJK punctuation from a non-CJK keyboard.
