History & usage: The symbol RIGHT SQUARE BRACKET WITH UNDERBAR has code point U+298C and sits in the Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-B block. In text and code, the character acts as a bracket. It helps delimit groups, parameters, or quoted text. The underbar helps visually distinguish it from a plain bracket. Writers and programmers use such brackets to organize content and separate elements. In many fonts, it looks like a square closing bracket with a small line below it. The symbol is intended for use where a clear end or boundary marker is needed in math, logic, or structured data. When typing, you may substitute it for other closing brackets in contexts where the underbar aids readability or formal notation. The character is part of the common set of symbols used for grouping and quoting. Its role is simple: it marks the end of a group or quoted section.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+298C 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.
