Source: Browser Default
U+2E56 "⹖" Right Square Bracket with Stroke is a punctuation mark in the Supplemental Punctuation block, designed for specialized textual annotation and scholarly editing. It resembles a standard right square bracket but includes a short horizontal stroke passing through its middle, distinguishing it from the common closing bracket. This character is primarily used in philological and linguistic contexts to indicate a specific editorial or scribal notation, such as marking a variant reading or a textual boundary in critical editions. Its inclusion in Unicode supports precise transcription of historical manuscripts and technical documentation where conventional brackets are insufficient.
