If you see 𐑥𐑸𐑒 written down, you might want to know whether it's a mark, or the boy's name Mark. Ordinarily, you would show the difference using capital letters. But Shavian doesn't have capitals or lowercase like the ordinary alphabet.

For this reason, when you write a proper noun (the name of a particular person or thing), you should write a naming dot before it. So 𐑥𐑸𐑒 is "mark", and ·𐑥𐑸𐑒 is "Mark".
