The vertical ellipsis symbol (⋮) consists of three vertically aligned dots, originally used in mathematics to indicate omitted rows in a matrix or vector. Today, it is widely recognized in user interface design as the "kebab menu" icon, signaling a dropdown list of additional settings or options. It is also handy in typography to show that lines of text or code have been skipped in a vertical sequence.
