Proper ellipsis for CJK titles

Like you said, MIDLINE HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS (⋯ U+22EF) is a math symbol. Thus, JIS X 0213 - Wikipedia does not include it, and uses HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS (… U+2026) instead.

Similar to how we want to use Katakana-Hiragana double hyphen (゠ U+30A0) rather than fullwidth equals sign (= U+FF1D), because we’re writing Katakana/Hiragana, not Math.
