The compound point is an obsolete typographical construction. Keith Houston reported that this form of punctuation doubling, which involved the comma dash , the semicolon dash , the colon dash, or 'dog's bollocks' (:—), and less often the stop-dash (.—) arose in the seventeenth century, citing examples from as early as 1622 (in an edition of Othello). More traditionally, these paired forms of punctuation seem most often to have been called (generically) compound points and (specifically) semicolon dash, comma dash, colon dash, and point dash.
