U+2E24 "⸤" Bottom Left Half Bracket Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+2E24 "⸤" Bottom Left Half Bracket is a typographic symbol used primarily in historical and specialized text annotation to denote the beginning of a vertical or marginal note, often pairing with a corresponding top or right half bracket to enclose editorial corrections or insertions. It appears as a small, angled bracket shape that occupies the bottom left quadrant of a character space, and its design allows it to function as a delimeter in certain complex writing systems or scholarly transcriptions where full brackets would be visually disruptive. This character is part of the Supplemental Punctuation block and is distinct from standard bracket characters due to its fragmented form, which supports precise placement in vertical text layout or alongside other half bracket variants.
