U+FE42 "﹂" Presentation Form for Vertical Right Corner Bracket Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FE42 "﹂" Presentation Form for Vertical Right Corner Bracket is a typographic variant of the standard right corner bracket, specifically designed for use in vertical text layouts common in East Asian scripts such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Unlike its horizontal counterpart, this presentation form is optimized to appear correctly when text is written in vertical columns running from top to bottom, ensuring the bracket's orientation aligns with the flow of the characters. It falls within the "CJK Compatibility Ideographs" block, serving as a formatting aid rather than a distinct semantic symbol, and in practice it is often substituted by the generic right corner bracket U+300D when vertical rendering is handled automatically by the text layout engine.
