History & usage: Right Black Lenticular Bracket has the code point U+3011 and lives in the CJK Symbols and Punctuation block. It is a common, script-agnostic mark used in multiple languages that use Chinese or Japanese style text. In practice, this character serves as a closing bracket in East Asian typography. It pairs with a corresponding left bracket to enclose groups or quoted material. In writing and in code, brackets separate items, parameters, or quoted text. The mark is listed as part of standard punctuation in Unicode, which helps ensure consistent rendering across platforms. Because its form is distinct from Western brackets, it is often found in documents that mix East Asian and Western conventions. Digital typography uses U+3011 to ensure the character appears where needed in plain text and in many environments. Readers may see it accompanying other brackets in lists, commands, or strings that require clear, compact delimitation. This bracket type supports precise grouping without introducing additional spacing or confusion in dense text. Its use remains straightforward and predictable in both traditional and modern writing contexts.

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.
