Colon (punctuation)
The
colon ( : ) is a
punctuation mark consisting of two equally sized dots centered on the same vertical line. A colon precedes an explanation, or an enumeration or list. A colon is also used with

bibliographies, Biblical citations between chapter and verse, and—in
American English—to separate hours and minutes, for business letter salutations and in
formal letter writing.
