History & usage: The TOP RIGHT HALF BRACKET, with the code point U+2E23, belongs to the Supplemental Punctuation block. It is a small mark used in text as a bracket element. In use, brackets and quotes often delimit groups, parameters, or quoted text in writing and code. This character helps close a group from the upper right side, signaling the end of a unit in a sequence. Writers may use it alongside other punctuation to show scope or to enclose material that is part of a larger structure. In coding and technical writing, such brackets act as visual helpers to separate items, options, or values without adding extra words. When a text contains multiple levels of brackets, this half bracket can indicate the end of one level. Historically, symbols in the Supplemental Punctuation block emerged to provide more annotation tools for complex text. The TOP RIGHT HALF BRACKET is designed to be unobtrusive and easy to recognize. It fits into modern typography as a small, precise marker for grouping. Overall, its role is to support clarity in lists, parameters, and quoted text.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2E23 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.
