U+2E23 "⸣" Top Right Half Bracket Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+2E23 "⸣" Top Right Half Bracket is a typographic punctuation mark used primarily in the Cree language and related Indigenous orthographies to denote a specific phonetic or grammatical feature, often indicating a glottal stop or vowel length depending on the writing system. It visually resembles the right half of a square bracket and functions as a distinct grapheme rather than a structural bracket. This character is part of the Supplemental Punctuation block of Unicode, added to support accurate digital representation of Canadian Aboriginal syllabics and other writing systems where such partial brackets carry linguistic meaning. Its usage helps preserve the proper written form of languages that require precise notation beyond standard Latin punctuation.
