History & usage: The symbol U+23B0, known as the Upper Left or Lower Right Curly Bracket Section, comes from the Miscellaneous Technical block. It is used in text and code as a bracket or delimiter. In practice, writers and programmers may use it to mark a section or to group parts of an expression. The name hints at two possible orientations, depending on the surrounding context. In many documents, it appears as a decorative or special-purpose bracket rather than as a standard punctuation mark. When seen in code, it helps identify a block, a parameter, or a quoted portion of text. In writing, it can label a subsection or set off a quoted line or phrase for emphasis. People rely on it as a clear visual cue that a group begins or ends. It is not a common everyday symbol, but it fills a niche role in technical material. Users should render it consistently with the surrounding typography, so the intent remains easy to read. For compatibility, ensure the font supports this Unicode character.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+23B0 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.
