U+29FC "⧼" Left-Pointing Curved Angle Bracket Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⧼
U+29FC "⧼" Left-Pointing Curved Angle Bracket is a typographic symbol used primarily in mathematical notation and technical contexts, where it often denotes a half-open interval or acts as a specialized delimiter in set theory and formal logic. Its curved design distinguishes it from standard angle brackets, and it is visually paired with the right-pointing version U+29FD "⧽" to enclose expressions in a way that is less common than regular brackets or braces. This character belongs to the Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-B block, making it a precise tool for authors and researchers who need to represent specific mathematical relationships or boundaries without ambiguity.
