Source: Browser Default
U+2E1C "⸜" Left Low Paraphrase Bracket is a specialized punctuation mark used primarily in historical and philological texts to denote the beginning of a paraphrased or interpolated passage, particularly in medieval manuscripts. It belongs to the Supplemental Punctuation block and is typically paired with its mirrored counterpart, the Right Low Paraphrase Bracket (U+2E1D), to enclose a section of text that has been reworded or added by a later editor or scribe. This bracket is distinguished by its placement low on the baseline, setting it apart from standard quotation marks and making it useful for scholarly annotations where precise textual criticism is required.
