In China and Korea, this comma ({{zhi|t={{linktext|頓號}}|s={{linktext|顿号}}|p=dùnhào}}) is usually only used  to separate items in lists, while it is the more common form of comma in Japan ({{langx|ja|label=none|{{linktext|読点}}|tōten}}, {{lit.|clause mark}}).

In documents that mix [[Japanese script|Japanese]] and [[Latin script]]s, the '''full-width comma''' ({{unichar|FF0C|fullwidth comma}}) is used; this is the standard form of comma ({{zhi|t={{linktext|逗號}}|s={{linktext|逗号|p=dòuhào}}}}) in China. Since East Asian typography permits commas to join dependent clauses dealing with certain topics or lines of thought, commas may be used in ways that would be considered [[comma splice]]s in English.{{Clarification needed|reason=Comma splices join independent clauses, not dependent clauses.|date=October 2024}}

[[Korean punctuation]] uses both commas and [[interpunct]]s for lists.

In Unicode 5.2.0, "numbers with commas" ({{unichar|1F101|size=100%}} through {{unichar|1F10A|size=100%}}) were added to the [[Enclosed Alphanumeric Supplement]] block for compatibility with the [[ARIB STD B24 character set]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Suignard |first=Michel |date=11 March 2008 |title=Japanese TV Symbols – ISO/IEC JTC1/SC2/WG2 N 33 97 – UTC L2/08 - 077 R 2 |url=http://unicode.org/wg2/docs/n3397.pdf |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181121022050/http://unicode.org/wg2/docs/n3397.pdf |archive-date=21 November 2018 |access-date=20 November 2018 |publisher=[[The Unicode Consortium]] |page=6}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |url=https://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode5.2.0/ch15.pdf#G37643 |title=The Unicode Standard, Version 5.2: Chapter 15.9 – Symbols – Enclosed and Square |date=December 2009 |publisher=[[The Unicode Consortium]] |isbn=9781936213009 |page=490 (PDF: 33) |format=PDF |access-date=20 November 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190109195919/http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode5.2.0/ch15.pdf#G37643 |archive-date=9 January 2019 |url-status=live}}</ref>
