What it is and where it’s used: Right Arc Greater-Than Bracket is part of the Symbols family (block: Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-B). If you need styled or decorative alternatives, try our Fancy Text tool to generate compatible text that works in most modern interfaces.
History & usage: The RIGHT ARC GREATER-THAN BRACKET is a symbol in the Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-B block. Its code point is U+2994. It appears as a curved right arc with a greater‑than shape. This symbol is used in math and UI contexts to show grouping or parameter limits. It functions as a bracket that can delimit parts of a formula or an expression in code and interfaces. In formulas, it helps mark the end of a parameter list or the boundary of a subexpression. In user interfaces, it can guide the reader by showing where a group ends or where a choice lies. The symbol works alongside other brackets and quotes that set apart chunks of text or data. It is one option among common math symbols that indicate operations, comparisons, or boundaries. Its appearance is simple and easily recognizable in technical writing. Over time, many fonts render it clearly, so it remains usable in documents, math editors, and software. Overall, the symbol aids clarity by signaling the end of a group in a compact, visual way.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2994 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.

HTML: use the numeric entity ⦔ (hex) or ⦔ (decimal) when an HTML entity is needed.
Compatibility & troubleshooting
Font support: if the symbol does not render, the current font likely lacks this codepoint. Choose a font with broad Unicode coverage or allow a fallback font.
Web pages: ensure your CSS font stack includes a general fallback; avoid relying on images for common symbols to preserve accessibility and copyability.
