Used to separate foreign words and items in lists. For example, if "ビルゲイツ" 'BillGates' is written instead of "ビル・ゲイツ" 'Bill Gates', a Japanese person unfamiliar with the names might have difficulty understanding which part represents the given name and which one represents the surname. This symbol is known as an interpunct in English.

daburu haifun (ダブルハイフン, "double hyphen")
Sometimes replaces an English en dash or hyphen when writing foreign words in katakana. It is also rarely used to separate given and family names, though the middle dot (nakaguro) is much more common in these cases. See also double hyphen.
This character is used to write 締めshime in 締め切り／締切shimekiri ("deadline") (as 〆切) and similar things. It is also used, less commonly, for other shime namely 閉め, 絞め and 占め. A variant 乄 is used as well, to indicate that a letter is closed, as abbreviation of 閉め. The character originated as a cursive form of ト, the top component of 占 (as in 占めるshimeru), and was then applied to other kanji of the same pronunciation. See ryakuji for similar abbreviations.
This character is also commonly used in regards to sushi. In this context, it refers that the sushi is pickled, and it is still pronounced shime.[1][2][failed verification]

nyoro (にょろ) naishi (ないし) nami (波, "wave") kara (から)
Used in "to from" constructions in Japanese, such as 月〜金曜日 "from Monday to Friday". In horizontal writing and on computers, the fullwidth tilde～ (FF5E) is often used instead.
A simplified version of the kanji 箇 (the generic counter). Most commonly used in indicating a period of months, for example, 一ヶ月 "one month", or in place names. See small ke.
Adding these dots to the sides of characters (right side in vertical writing, above in horizontal writing) emphasizes the character in question. It is the Japanese equivalent of the use of italics for emphasis in English.

marumaru (まるまる, "circle circle")
Two of them (〇〇) used as a placeholder (either because a number of other words or numbers could be used in that position, or because of censorship)
This mark is used by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) on music publications to indicate that rental is prohibited.[3] Depending on the format (single or album), and whether the content is of Japanese or foreign origin, the rental ban can last from three days up to one year after the release date, at the record company's discretion.[4] Sometimes it is printed as just an uncircled "X", optionally followed by a swung dash ("~") and what may be the last date of the prohibition period. However, if the circled X only appears next to a release date (as indicated by "Y" or "L", see below), then it is unclear whether the release date is also the rental ban expiration date or if a standard prohibition period is in effect.
