U+2E0C "⸌" Left Raised Omission Bracket Unicode Character

U+2E0C "⸌" Left Raised Omission Bracket is a punctuation mark used primarily in editorial and scholarly contexts to indicate a deliberate omission or gap in a quoted text, where it is positioned raised above the baseline to distinguish it from standard brackets. Unlike a regular bracket, its upward placement signals that the text was left out by the editor or transcriber rather than being an original feature of the source material. This character belongs to the Supplemental Punctuation block and is often applied in critical editions of ancient or Medieval manuscripts where spaces are left blank due to damaged or unreadable portions, or when a modern editor chooses to excise a section for clarity. Its distinct design helps maintain readability while clearly marking the authorial intervention.
