History & usage: The BOTTOM CURLY BRACKET is a symbol in the Miscellaneous Technical block with the codepoint U+23DF. In plain terms, it is part of the set of curved braces used in writing and code. It serves as a delimiter that marks the end of a group or list. In many contexts, brackets and quotes set off parameters, arguments, or quoted text, and the bottom curly shape helps distinguish nested or special blocks. The symbol is treated as a punctuation mark, not a letter, so it does not alter the meaning of words by itself. Developers may use it in specialized notations, diagrams, or domain-specific languages where curved brackets convey closure or grouping at the bottom of a structure. In documentation and examples, it appears alongside other brackets to show how a construct ends. Its role is practical rather than decorative: it helps readers identify boundaries quickly. The character name, its hex code, and its usage in grouping tasks make it a reliable tool for clear writing and precise code. It remains a helpful option when a bottom-ending bracket is needed.

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