Written Chinese uses two kinds of commas. How do you type the one for lists?

For the sake of clarity, "、" is called an enumeration comma. I would like to know too; I couldn't figure it out after googling it (the enumeration comma above is copypasta).

After looking through the help files of my Chinese text input tool that I use on Windows XP, it appears that the enumeration comma isn't supported for me unless I am typing in bopomofo, which really isn't very helpful. Hopefully the case will be different for you.

It depends on your OS and what you're using to enter characters.

When using Windows XP and the Microsoft IME, it's \ for the ideographic or enumeration comma. This works in both simplified and traditional modes.

Hmm, I'm using the Microsoft IME and \ only works in simplified. Strange.

Although, I did figure out how to type ※, which I'm pretty sure isn't a glyph in any language.

I'm using the Google IME, \ works perfectly. Thanks!
