A comma is a punctuation mark that varies in appearance across different languages and typefaces, sometimes appearing as a small curved or straight line tilted from vertical, and other times as a tiny filled-in shape sitting on the baseline. Despite these visual differences, the comma serves as a consistent punctuation tool across writing systems, though its exact appearance may resemble an apostrophe or single quotation mark depending on the typeface used.

La virgola è uno dei segni di interpunzione più utilizzati. È il più breve segno di pausa e corrisponde nella lettura a un minutissimo intervallo della voce. Appare graficamente come un punto fermo allungato verso la direzione in basso a sinistra ed è situato in basso a sinistra prima dello spazio fra le parole. Alla sua forma rimanda il suo nome, dal latino virgula, -ae "bastoncino, piccola verga".
