In Unicode, at least we can find three colons and one of them is named Mongolian colon. We should use Mongolian colon in Mongolian without hesitation. But is it correct?

(:) Colon, U+003A: This is the most widely used colon. It is also called halfwidth colon in East Asia.

(：) Fullwidth Colon, U+FF1A: This one is mainly used in Chinese and Japanese.

(:) Mongolian Colon, U+1804: This one is designed for Mongolian Script (Mongolian, Manchu and Sibe).
