U+FE5A "﹚" Small Right Parenthesis Unicode Character

U+FE5A "﹚" Small Right Parenthesis is a typographic variant of the standard closing parenthesis, designed as a smaller glyph intended for use in contexts where space is limited or a more compact appearance is desired, often as part of a set of small punctuation marks in East Asian text layouts. It belongs to the Small Form Variants block, which contains smaller versions of common punctuation marks to facilitate compatibility with vertical writing or narrow character grids, and it serves as a visual alternative to the full-width or regular right parenthesis while retaining the same functional role in grouping and enclosing text.
