History & usage: RIGHT SQUARE BRACKET WITH STROKE is a punctuation mark in the Supplemental Punctuation block. Its code point is U+2E56. This character is a variant of the standard right square bracket, and it carries a stroke to set it apart from the ordinary form. The symbol is used to help organize text and data. It marks the end of a group, a parameter, or a quoted section in writing and in code. When writers use this mark, it helps show boundaries clearly. In programming, it often appears where a list, a parameter, or a string is grouped for processing. The stroke adds a visual cue that the delimiter has a special role. The symbol sits in a family of brackets and quotes that guide readers and machines through the structure of a line or block. As a result, it supports precise syntax and readable notation. Overall, it helps separate parts of a sentence or code while signaling closure of a grouped element.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2E56 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

Web pages: ensure your CSS font stack includes a general fallback; avoid relying on images for common symbols to preserve accessibility and copyability.
