It appears as a rotated or vertically oriented version of the curly bracket opening to the right side of the vertical text column, serving as a bracket or grouping symbol in vertical layout contexts like menus, titles, or mathematical notations adapted for vertical orientation. This character is part of a small set of presentation forms in Unicode that ensure proper visual alignment and legibility of punctuation and symbols when script direction changes from horizontal to vertical.
