Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+FE36 "" Presentation Form for Vertical Right Parenthesis is a specialized typographic variant of the standard right parenthesis, designed specifically for use in vertical text layouts common in East Asian scripts such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Unlike the regular closing parenthesis, which is oriented horizontally, this character is rendered with a rotated or upright appearance so that it aligns properly with characters stacked from top to bottom, ensuring visual continuity and correct spacing. It belongs to the "CJK Compatibility Forms" block and is typically used as the closing counterpart to the Presentation Form for Vertical Left Parenthesis (U+FE35). While rarely needed in horizontal writing, it plays an important role in preserving the intended punctuation structure when text is displayed or printed in a vertical orientation.
