`daburu haifun (ダブルハイ

`difficulty understanding which part represents the
`given name and which one represents the surname.
`This symbol is known as an interpunct in English.
`
`Sometimes replaces an English en dash or hyphen
`when writing foreign words in katakana. It is also
`rarely used to separate given and family names,
`though the middle dot (nakaguro) is much more
`common in these cases. See also double hyphen.

`
`shime (しめ)
`
`This character is used to write 締め shime in 締め切
`り／締切 shimekiri ("deadline") (as 〆切) and
`similar. It is also used, less commonly, for other
`shime namely 閉め, 絞め and 占め. A variant 乄 is
`use as well, to indicate that a letter is closed, as
`abbreviation of 閉め. The character originated as a
`cursive form of ト, the top component of 占 (as in
`占める shimeru), and was then applied to other
`kanji of the same pronunciation. See ryakuji for
`similar abbreviations.
`
`This character is also commonly used in regards to
`sushi. In this context, it refers that the sushi is
`pickled. In this context, it is still pronounced
`shime.[1]

`This mark on a product shows that it complies

`
`This encircled sai character is used by various
`organizations on music and print publications to
`represent saihan seido (or saihanbai kakaku iji
`seido), Japan's resale price maintenance
`system.[2] It normally accompanies a date and the
`phrase "まで", meaning "until", in order to
`indicate the first date the item can be returned for
`credit or sold at a discounted price.
`
`This mark is used by the Recording Industry
`Association of Japan (RIAJ) on music
`publications to indicate that rental is prohibited.[2]
`Depending on the format (single or album), and
`whether the content is of Japanese or foreign
`origin, the rental ban can last from three days up
`to one year after the release date, at the record
`company's discretion.[3] Sometimes it is printed
`as just an uncircled "X", optionally followed by a
`swung dash ("~") and what may be the last date
`of the prohibition period. However, if the circled
`X only appears next to a release date (as indicated
`by "Y" or "L", see below), then it is unclear
`whether the release date is also the rental ban
`expiration date or if a standard prohibition period
`is in effect.
`
`This mark is used by the RIAJ on music
`publications to indicate that the content is of
`Japanese origin.[2] It normally accompanies the
`release date,[2] which may include a letter "N" "I"
`"H" "O" "R" "E" or "C" to represent a year from
`1984 through 1990, such as "H·2·21" to
`represent 21 February 1986.
`
`This mark is used by the RIAJ on music
