Wavy Dash

The wavy dash (〰️) is a dash character composed of a flowing, wave-like line. It is used in Japanese text to indicate pauses, drawn-out speech, or lingering thoughts. It can soften the tone at the end of dialogue or act as a gentle divider between sentences. Visually, its smooth curves add a sense of movement and friendliness to text. It’s commonly used in social media and chat messages to convey nuance and emotion. Since it’s rendered as a graphic rather than a font glyph, it maintains a consistent appearance across devices.
