Unicode Version 17.0
〕
U+3015 "〕" Right Tortoise Shell Bracket is a punctuation mark primarily used in East Asian typography, particularly in Japanese and Chinese texts, to serve as the closing counterpart to the left tortoise shell bracket U+3014. It is commonly employed to enclose annotations, commentary, or supplementary information within literary works, academic writing, or traditional documents, often appearing in vertical writing systems as a stylized bracket designed to maintain visual symmetry. Despite its distinctive name, the bracket does not directly depict a tortoise shell but is instead named for its resemblance to the curved, segmented shape of a tortoise's carapace.
