The optimism mark is derived from a period and functions similarly, falling at the end of a sentence indicating the end of an idea. Formally, it resembles a period cradled with an upward swooping line, softening the gesture. Functionally, the mark ends a sentence with insinuation of an optimistic though or idea. The feeling the mark emanates, falls between the excitation of an exclamation mark and the precise somberness of a period. Its purpose is more clearly depict the mood of the sentence, and add a level of visual description to punctuations.

The period is indifferent and factual, the excitation mark is very enthusiastic and the optimism mark is upbeat. This mark could be useful in public speaking or plays, as directions for rhetoric. The gesture of the mark, curved upward like a smile, implies and alludes to happiness.
