[Sw-l] Old punctuation symbol used in Wikipedia articles

[Adam Frost]

I think they are actually limb lines because adding symbols to a punctuation symbol would not be saved/rendered.

I did try the double thick lines too, but it hadn’t been used that way either. It was just an experiment, but it doesn’t have to become the norm. :-)

And of course we had to put it between two thick lines because this is Punctuation. Without the thick lines on each side of the dot for the bullet, the dot alone would look like a Finger Movement or other symbols…so the thick line with the dot in the center makes it clear it is Punctuation, for Bullet Lists.

It is one of the last pages of an article from the ASL Wikipedia and as you can see I put it into Photoshop and pointed some red arrows towards punctuation symbols that we only seem to use in Wikipedia. They have a dot in the center and I think those represented section divisions? I believe the text below is providing added information about the article for Wikipedia readers? Is that what that symbol means? Please see attached.
