History & usage: The TOP HALF RIGHT PARENTHESIS is a character in the Supplemental Punctuation block. Its name is TOP HALF RIGHT PARENTHESIS and its code point is U+2E5A. It is used as a bracket or quote delimiter. In writing, it marks the end of a group or a quoted segment when paired with other brackets. In code, it acts as a delimiter for parameters or arguments in certain notations. The symbol is used for specialized typography and in lists. It helps readers see boundaries. When used, it pairs with other marks to enclose text. It helps distinguish quotes from other punctuation. It appears in texts that need compact or vertical spacing. Brackets and quotes delimit groups, parameters, or quoted text in writing and code. This gives a practical rule: place the symbol where a group or a parameter ends. The character is in the Common script and belongs to the Supplemental Punctuation block. It has a specific Unicode value, which supports consistent rendering in fonts and software.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2E5A 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.
