U+27E9 "⟩" Mathematical Right Angle Bracket Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⟩
U+27E9 "⟩" Mathematical Right Angle Bracket is a typographic symbol used primarily in mathematical notation and formal logic to denote the right side of a paired delimiter, often paired with its left counterpart U+27E8 "⟨". It commonly appears in expressions for inner products, bra–ket notation in quantum mechanics, sequence tuples, or as angle brackets in set theory and computer science to enclose elements. Its design is distinct from the similar-looking greater-than sign or closing single guillemet, as it is intended for symmetrical pairing in technical text.
