Typography and punctuation

• Wikipedia: Corrector's manual, an essay
• User:Incnis Mrsi/replace.js, a homebrew extension to User:Cameltrader/Advisor
• Three lesser boxes, my extension to {{Punctuation marks}}, invented by me (not ported from anywhere), and only slightly modified since then

Characters used everywhere

I frequently make a use of following characters, which is not mentioned in MoSes.

] [ ] [ – thin space and hair space (usually in {{math}} or so)

  – the non-breaking thin space, sometimes used outside {{math}}, such as in 2 × 2

… – ellipsis, a punctuation mark

· – interpunct, sometimes used (inside <!-- -->) for stuffing very short pages (encoded in 3 bytes)

]​[ – zero-width space, sometimes used to control closing curly brackets in a template’s argument, such as in {x}​, and other situations where one has to fool the engine

Characters used outside the article space only

’ – typographic apostrophe, used in discussions and especially useful in edit summaries because of unpredictable rendering of U+0027 ' APOSTROPHE in italic text

“ ” – double curly quotes, used similarly
