Semicolon

+**Semicolon**

+A **semicolon** (`;`) is a mark of [punctuation](/wiki/punctuation) indicating a pause more pronounced than a [comma](/wiki/comma) but less absolute than a period. It gracefully connects two closely related independent clauses, allowing their ideas to flow together in a single, unified thought. This subtle symbol offers a delicate bridge, preventing full separation while maintaining distinctness.
