Double hyphen

It is different from "an equal sign".

゠

The double hyphen (English: double hyphen, ゠) is a hyphen expressed with two parallel lines. I am called the double hyphen (にじゅう hyphen). The length of the hyphen is half size width. I am often substituted in an equal sign (=) and the clogs sign (〓) of the mathematical character. It is two horizontal lines by the writing from left to right, but 90 degrees turns by the writing from top to bottom and becomes two bars.

I am used in Japanese and Ainu mainly. Even a European language may be rarely used in substitution for a hyphen and may be written in the upward slant to the right in some cases.

A letter prescribed in JIS X 0213:2004 is included in this item (in detail).

Use

Japanese

At the katakana notation of the word of foreign origin, I use it for the ends such as words. I often use it for a proper name.

• I use it as substitution of hyphen "-" in the original. I am effective in being able to distinguish it from long note "ー" clearly. I use centered period "・", and anything can exhibit the kind of the end in the original if I use 挿 れないこともあるが, the double hyphen between (I use the centered period for a word end in the original). An example: Catherine ゼタ ゠ Jones (Catherine Zeta-Jones), la ガレンヌ ゠ コロンブ (La Garenne-Colombes), Weinberg ゠ Salam theory (Weinberg-Salam theory).
• I use it at a word end in the original.
  • I use it for all the word ends. An example: Leonardo ゠ ダ ゠ Vinci (the Leonardo da Vinci)^{[ source required}).
  • Particularly, I may use it when a word is strongly tied. An example: Genghis ゠ Kahn (Činggis Qan), mon ゠ buran (the Mont Blanc)^{[ source required}).
  • I use it for an end between the name and may distinguish it using a normal hyphen for the end in the name in a family name for it [¹]. An example: Ho ゠ チ-ミン (HồChíMinh).

Other language

• It is spent for a person affix by Romaji notation of the Ainu.
• When I started a new line by Western languages at the position of the hyphen, I may use it.
  An example: When start a new line at the position of the hyphen in man-eater; usually
  man‐
  eater
  
  となる. However, it becomes in the same way even if I start a new line and cannot distinguish maneater because a hyphen is inserted when I start a new line in the middle of a word. When there was not the big problem, but usually started a new line in the document which the close notation including the dictionary was expected from in man-eater even if I could not distinguish these
  man゠
  eater
  
  I write と and may understand original notation.
  
  
  
  
  
• In American Hotel "ウォルドルフ ゠ Astoria," "Waldorf゠Astoria" was a full name from 1949 through 2009.
• The double hyphen of the upward slant to the right is used as a punctuation mark to express an end by Copt word.
•  

  Hyphen of the Fraktur
  In the Fraktur font, the double hyphen of the upward slant to the right is used as a hyphen. But it is a hyphen not double hyphen for a letter, and this is only that a hyphen is such a print in this font.
