U+3009 "〉" Right Angle Bracket Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
〉
U+3009 "〉" Right Angle Bracket is, despite being named a "right angle bracket," visually oriented as a left-pointing symbol in standard East Asian typography. It is part of the CJK Symbols and Punctuation block and serves primarily as a punctuation mark, often used to enclose quotations, annotations, or list items in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean text, functioning as the closing partner to the left angle bracket U+3008. Its glyph resembles a greater-than sign but is typically rendered with a wider, more rounded form in CJK fonts to harmonize with the character grid.
