Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+FE40 "" Presentation Form for Vertical Right Angle Bracket is a typographic variant of the standard right angle bracket (U+3009) specifically designed for use in vertical writing systems, such as traditional Chinese or Japanese text. This character belongs to the CJK Compatibility Forms block and serves as a presentation form that ensures the bracket appears rotated or adjusted to align correctly with the vertical orientation of the surrounding characters, rather than the usual horizontal layout. It is primarily intended for compatibility with legacy encoding standards and is less commonly used in modern digital typography, where contextual shaping often handles such orientation automatically.
