History & usage: The character depicts MATHEMATICAL RIGHT WHITE SQUARE BRACKET. In name tokens, MATHEMATICAL signals a symbol used in formal notation; RIGHT indicates direction, WHITE describes color or fill, and SQUARE BRACKET names the geometric form. These tokens often help readers parse function and appearance across fonts, layouts, and encoding schemes. The combination suggests a paired enclosing symbol with a clear, angular interior form that guides grouping or boundary marking in equations and lists. While names do not prescribe language, they point to typographic roles useful in design and analysis. 2–3 practical usage contexts rely on its identity: in scholarly editions of mathematical texts, as a precise bracket that closes a group or an interval in complex notation; in educational primers and calculators, to illustrate correct pairing and alignment of symbols in formulas; and in archival transcription and paleography, to preserve original bracket shapes when rendering historical manuscripts or typographic revivals. Cross-platform consistency matters for accessible math screens and screen readers, aiding quick UI controls for operations or comparisons.
