History & usage: The character RIGHT CURLY BRACKET MIDDLE PIECE, with codepoint U+23AC, sits in the Miscellaneous Technical block. It is part of the set of symbols used in writing and computing. The script is Common. In practical use, this symbol often appears as a bracket element that closes or separates items. It helps to mark boundaries when groups or parameters are shown. It can appear in text to enclose quoted material, options, or data values. In code, it acts as a delimiter in expressions or structures where a middle piece is needed between other braces. It helps readers and programs recognize where a group ends without confusing readers about where parameters begin. The symbol is one piece among several curved or angular braces that come in different shapes and sizes. People may encounter it in technical documents, source code, and data formats. When reading, look for it as a signal that a list, a parameter, or quoted content is being wrapped. This awareness helps with parsing and understanding structure in writing and code.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+23AC in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.
Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
