U+2995 "⦕" Double Left Arc Greater-than Bracket Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+2995 "⦕" Double Left Arc Greater-than Bracket is a specialized typographic symbol that forms a matching pair with its rightward counterpart, U+2996, and is primarily used in mathematical notation and formal logic to denote ordered pairs, intervals, or specific relational structures where a curved version of the standard greater-than sign is preferred for clarity or stylistic consistency. It belongs to the Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols B block, and its design combines a leftward curving arc with a greater-than bracket shape, giving it a distinct appearance that helps avoid confusion with similar looking angle brackets or inequality signs in complex equations. While not commonly found in everyday text, it appears in academic and technical documents, particularly those involving advanced algebra, set theory, or computer science formalisms, where precise symbol differentiation is essential for accurate interpretation.
