U+FE5E "﹞" Small Right Tortoise Shell Bracket Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+FE5E "﹞" Small Right Tortoise Shell Bracket is a CJK punctuation mark that serves as the closing counterpart in a pair of brackets resembling a stylized tortoise shell, primarily used in traditional Chinese and Japanese typography for enclosing annotations, comments, or supplementary text within vertical script. This character, part of the CJK Compatibility Forms block, exists alongside its opening partner U+FE5D "﹝" and functions similarly to Western square brackets but with a distinctively curved, shell like appearance that aligns with East Asian calligraphic aesthetics. Its small variant designation indicates compatibility with earlier character encoding standards, ensuring proper display in contexts where precise vertical spacing and textual hierarchy are important.
