) used to indicate the speaker is at a loss of words.っ
is another way of indicating the speaker cannot say something. See: What does ending a statement with 「っ」signify when coupled with 「・・・」? and What does the little っ (tsu) signify when at the end of a word?こんばんは、that symbol is the same as this one: ー, but when the text is written verticaly, it turns into that. The function of this symbol is to prolong the sound of vowel. In your case ミーナト can be read as miinato, but if it didn't had this symbol, like ミナト, it would be read as minato.
Hope you understand, Nickzus.
