ditto definition and meaning

What is "ditto"?

Ditto (〃) is a symbol used to indicate that the information or text above it is to be repeated. Commonly found in lists, it simplifies notation by avoiding the need to write the same word or phrase multiple times. For example, if a list includes "Apples" in one line and "〃" in the next, it means the second line also refers to "Apples." Ditto is often used in contexts such as accounting, notes, and forms to enhance clarity and save space, making it easier for readers to understand repeated items without redundancy.
