Three dots in a row in writing.
It is used when there is a brief pause in the middle of a sentence that is longer or more dramatic than a comma, or as extension to a thought, holding the effect of the thought just a little longer than the written word allows. This looks similar to the ellipsis, but without the brackets or parentheses.
Closely related to the fermata in music.

- the word formoto is not used when expressing the three dots, but is needed to complete this form.
Wait for it... {formoto}
To be continued... {formoto}
And the winner is... {formoto} Simon.
