U+23AC "⎬" Right Curly Bracket Middle Piece Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⎬
U+23AC "⎬" Right Curly Bracket Middle Piece is a typographic glyph used as a building block for constructing large or tall curly brackets in mathematical and technical typesetting. Unlike the standard single-character curly bracket, this middle piece is designed to be stacked vertically between the top and bottom pieces of a multi-line brace, allowing for visually seamless extension when enclosing multiple lines of text or equations. It belongs to the Miscellaneous Technical block of Unicode and is part of a set of bracket fragments that facilitate precise formatting in plain text environments where proportional spacing or automated bracket sizing is not available.
