History & usage: The BOTTOM LEFT HALF BRACKET, U+2E24, is a symbol in the Supplemental Punctuation block. It appears as a curved corner mark at the bottom left of a box or line. It does not change the text around it, but it signals a boundary or start. Brackets and quotes delimit groups, parameters, or quoted text in writing and code. In plain text, writers use it with other brackets or quotes to mark a boundary or beginning of a segment. In code, it can mark the start of a list or a quoted part within a larger expression. The character has a specific place in typography and is supported by fonts that include supplemental punctuation. Its function is descriptive rather than altering meaning for most readers. When used, it helps show structure or hierarchy in data, lists, or quoted material. The symbol is often paired with other brackets to enclose a region or parameter in a consistent style. History wise, it was created for specialized writing needs and is included in Unicode to support extended punctuation. Today, it is most often seen in linguistic texts, typesetting, and certain programming contexts where clear boundaries are needed.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2E24 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.
