It was meant to be a vertical ellipsis. In hindsight, we could use the explicit character for that purpose. ('⋮' U+22EE)

Hello.
While reading the javadoc of CollationElementIterator I found a
strange colon in the example.

https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/master/src/java.base/share/classes/java/text/CollationElementIterator.java#L87

     String testString = "This is a test";
     Collator col = Collator.getInstance();
     if (col instanceof RuleBasedCollator) {
         RuleBasedCollator ruleBasedCollator = (RuleBasedCollator)col;
         CollationElementIterator collationElementIterator =
ruleBasedCollator.getCollationElementIterator(testString);
         int primaryOrder =
CollationElementIterator.primaryOrder(collationElementIterator.next());
             :
     }

Does it mean something?
It was added under https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-6486695
