U+2E29 "⸩" Right Double Parenthesis Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⸩
U+2E29 "⸩" Right Double Parenthesis is a punctuation mark used primarily in scholarly and editorial contexts, representing the closing counterpart to the Left Double Parenthesis (U+2E28). It features a double-hooked or doubled-stroke design that visually distinguishes it from a standard parenthesis, often employed in critical editions of ancient or medieval texts to mark the end of an interpolated or editorially inserted passage. Its inclusion in Unicode’s Supplemental Punctuation block supports precise textual annotation, ensuring that typographical fidelity is maintained in digital texts where such specialized notation is required for complex philological work.
