An ellipsis is a mark to indicate a place in text where an elision was made.

JoAnn illistrates an informal use of ellipsis, to indicate a trailing off or
extinguishing expression of thought. ...often with the meaning, I

I'm not JoAnn but
: is two dots and is a colon [fr. Greek, kolon-limb]
ü the dots above the u are a dieresis [fr. Greek diaresis-a division]

An elipsis... On a drop down menu in most programs, it indicates that
options will be available when on clicks on it.
