U+3019 "〙" Right White Tortoise Shell Bracket Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+3019 "〙" Right White Tortoise Shell Bracket is a typographic symbol used primarily in East Asian scripts, particularly in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing. It functions as a closing bracket for its paired counterpart U+3018 "〘" Left White Tortoise Shell Bracket, and together they are often employed to enclose annotations, commentary, or stylistic text in a manner similar to other tortoise shell brackets. Unlike their black (filled) equivalents found elsewhere in Unicode, these white (hollow) versions offer a lighter visual distinction, making them suitable for use in formal documents, calligraphy, or typesetting where a less intrusive delimiter is desired. The bracket belongs to the CJK Symbols and Punctuation block and is encoded for compatibility with legacy character sets and traditional printing conventions.
