U+FF63 "」" Halfwidth Right Corner Bracket Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FF63 "」" Halfwidth Right Corner Bracket is a typographic symbol used primarily in East Asian text processing, where it functions as the right or closing counterpart to the halfwidth left corner bracket (U+FF62). It is part of the Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms block, designed for compatibility with legacy character sets that require a compact, single-byte representation of certain CJK punctuation marks. In practice, this bracket is often employed in vertical writing systems or in environments where space is limited, such as in terminal displays or old computer systems, to denote quotation, enclosure, or the end of a parenthetical statement. Its shape mirrors a small, squared corner turned upward, and it occupies half the width of a fullwidth character, making it visually distinct from its fullwidth counterpart.
