History & usage: In the history of punctuation, the LEFT RAISED OMISSION BRACKET is used as a symbol in some texts and code. Its code point is U+2E0C, in the Supplemental Punctuation block. The character sits above the line and opens a space for text to be omitted or skipped. It appears in technical writing and in some brackets systems to mark omitted material. In practice, editors use the symbol to show that content has been left out at a place. It helps readers see that something is missing without breaking the flow. In programming and data formats, similar raised brackets can indicate optional parts or parameters. They can bracket a group or a list of items. The usage is simple: place the bracket before a group to show it is a unit. Then place a matching closing symbol after the group. This creates a visual cue for omission or grouping. The symbol is not common in every language, but it has a clear role where such marks are needed.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2E0C 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.
