U+207E "⁾" Superscript Right Parenthesis Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+207E "⁾" Superscript Right Parenthesis is a typographic symbol designed for use in mathematical, scientific, and linguistic notation where a closing parenthesis needs to appear in a raised, smaller form. It is part of the Superscripts and Subscripts block and is often paired with its complementary counterpart, U+207D "⁽" Superscript Left Parenthesis, to denote exponents, grouping in chemical formulas, or phonetic transcriptions that require compact vertical alignment. Unlike standard parentheses, which are typically full-size, this superscript version occupies the same height as other superscript characters, allowing for consistent formatting in complex equations or annotations. Its usage frequently occurs alongside superscript numbers or symbols to denote powers, ordinal indicators, or footnotes, and it is supported in most modern fonts and text-processing systems that handle Unicode.
