How to Use and Format the Ditto Symbol
Format 〃 according to the specific role defined for Ditto Mark. The ditto mark 〃 is U+3003 DITTO MARK and indicates repetition of the item above in tables or lists. The encoded form is U+3003, and the Unicode character names are DITTO MARK. Preserve the complete sequence, including capitalization, combining marks, superscripts, punctuation, spaces, zero-width joiners, and variation selectors where present. In tables, introduce the notation before readers must interpret it; in inventory lists, retain the convention used by the source document; and in historical records, verify that the selected font supports every component.
This page covers the encoded ditto mark 〃. It is not a double quotation mark, inch mark, or a universal replacement for repeated text in accessible documents. Use readable surrounding wording whenever 〃 communicates direction, status, quantity, identity, relationship, category, or access. For web publishing, prefer selectable UTF-8 text, test copy-and-paste behavior, and provide an accessible name if the surrounding sentence does not already identify Ditto Mark. Check the final output in the actual website, document, spreadsheet, equation editor, export format, and assistive-technology workflow rather than approving a merely similar-looking glyph.
In tables, define 〃 as Ditto Mark before relying on the symbol alone.
For inventory lists, preserve the full encoded sequence U+3003; do not drop combining marks, superscripts, joiners, or component letters.
When preparing historical records, apply this intent boundary for Ditto Mark: This page covers the encoded ditto mark 〃. It is not a double quotation mark, inch mark, or a universal replacement for repeated text in accessible documents.
In plain-text forms, compare 〃 with " and choose the form whose meaning matches the source.
Encode Ditto Mark as UTF-8 or the numeric references 〃 and 〃 so the published form remains searchable and selectable.
Give 〃 the readable label “Ditto Mark” wherever the surrounding content does not already state the meaning.
Test ditto symbol in the final font, mobile layout, copy workflow, PDF export, and screen-reader output before release.

More About the Ditto Symbol
Ditto Mark is 〃, encoded as U+3003 DITTO MARK. The mark is a dedicated Unicode character and should not be confused with straight quotation marks, curly speech marks, or the double-prime sign. A historical inventory might show a name on one row and 〃 on the next row to mean “same as above.” Other examples include “Repeat above 〃” and a plain-text form whose legend explicitly defines the mark. The convention works only when the previous value is visible and the reader understands what is being repeated. Use 〃 sparingly in modern accessible documents. Repeating the actual text is often clearer for screen readers, sorting, filtering, and data export. When the ditto mark is retained to reproduce a source or compact table, add a note or column legend and preserve the relationship to the row above. Do not replace 〃 with ”, "", or ″. Those characters represent quotation or measurement functions rather than repetition. Avoid using the mark in a standalone field where the referenced value could disappear after sorting. Web content may use literal UTF-8 〃, decimal 〃, or hexadecimal 〃. An accessible description such as “same as above” is more informative than announcing only “ditto mark.” This page is about U+3003, not general quotation punctuation. Recopy the sample “CSS escape sequence: 3003,” confirm the final text still contains U+3003, and check that the visible heading names Ditto Mark. This final check protects Ditto Mark from font substitution, accidental character loss, and intent drift.
