Sorry, dead tired and about to go to bed or I'd go into this in more detail, but 々 isn't kanji, it's technically 踊り字, one of several used to represent consonant repetition. (It's called "dou no jiten," and can be brought up in IME/Japanese language input on your computer by typing どう and space bar-ing down.) See here for more. (p/s - "noma" et. al the link I posted to mentions is slang based upon appearance of katakana, etc. (e.g., NO plus MA). Dou no jiten is the accepted scholarly name).

Bed time.
