Context matters more than appearance

A Unicode name identifies a character; it does not explain every meaning a community may attach to it. Traditions, movements and regions can use the same mark differently or consider its placement sensitive.

Before using an unfamiliar symbol in publication, verify its meaning with a reliable source from the relevant community. Avoid treating a visual resemblance as proof that two symbols are interchangeable.
