i wanna ask you about donojiten 々. These mark's function is to repeat a word
right? But when I searching まだまだ、休み休み、泣き泣き on website dictionary and replaced
by 々, cant found those words meaning. So donojiten cant be used by all types
reduplication words? Or maybe there is a reason why? Thank you

question
meaning words reduplication
Reduplication mark 々
The function of 々 is to repeat **kanji** in a word, for example 日々 ("day-to-
day"), 木々 ("trees") and 各々 ("each"). You cannot use 々 for 泣く泣く, まだまだ and most
onomatopoeia. In addition, 々 is usually not used across word boundaries. For
example 会社社長 ("company president") is usually written without 々 because 会社社長
is two words.

There is also a symbol called
[くの字点](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/40805/5010), with which you can
repeat kana, but this is not used anymore.
