U+23A6 "⎦" Right Square Bracket Lower Corner Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+23A6 "⎦" Right Square Bracket Lower Corner is a graphic symbol used primarily in technical notation and mathematics, specifically as a component for creating large or extensible delimiters in text. It represents the lower portion of a right square bracket, often combined with other bracket segments such as U+23A5 Top Corner to form a continuous vertical line that can span multiple lines of type. This character belongs to the "Miscellaneous Technical" block and is part of a set designed for legible, compound bracket constructions in typesetting systems like troff or plain text rendering, where it helps visually enclose expressions or code blocks without relying on scalable fonts. Its appearance is a simple, right-angled shape forming the lower left corner of a right bracket, and it is distinct from typical ASCII brackets due to its specific role in multi-line formatting.
