U+23A5 "⎥" Right Square Bracket Extension Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+23A5 "⎥" Right Square Bracket Extension is a typographical glyph used primarily in mathematical and technical typesetting to extend the vertical stroke of a right square bracket when the enclosed content spans multiple lines or requires a taller delimiter. Unlike standard bracket characters, which have a fixed height, this extension piece can be repeated or combined with other bracket components to create a continuous, scalable bracket that matches the height of surrounding expressions, such as in matrices, piecewise functions, or large equations. It belongs to the "Miscellaneous Technical" block and is part of a set of characters designed for building large delimiters without relying on font-specific scaling, ensuring consistent rendering across different systems and fonts.
