Right Double Parenthesis ⸩
⸩ (U+2E29) is a standard Unicode character that you can copy and paste anywhere text is accepted. This page provides a concise reference with safe tips, internal links, and practical guidance so you can use it reliably across apps and platforms.
What it is and where it’s used: Right Double Parenthesis is part of the Symbols family (block: Supplemental Punctuation). 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 DOUBLE PARENTHESIS is a punctuation mark encoded as U+2E29 in the Supplemental Punctuation block. It is used mainly in informal writing and certain technical contexts to close a parenthetical group that begins with a corresponding LEFT DOUBLE PARENTHESIS. In practice, writers may pair this mark with its left counterpart to indicate a nested or emphasized boundary within text or code. The symbol helps show where a quoted section or parameter ends, especially when the content itself contains other brackets. It is not common in standard prose, but it appears in some specialized documents, logs, or data formats that require clear closure of a grouped segment. The typical usage is to delimit groups or quoted text without introducing new punctuation inside the closing mark. In coding and documentation, such marks may signal the end of a parameter list or nested structure. As with other punctuation, its function is to aid readability and parsing. When used, it should be paired with the correct opening mark to avoid confusion. Overall, it serves a niche role for clear boundaries in text and code.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2E29 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.

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.
