U+FF62 "「" Halfwidth Left Corner Bracket Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+FF62 "「" Halfwidth Left Corner Bracket is a typographic symbol used primarily in East Asian writing systems, particularly in Japanese, where it serves as a halfwidth version of the fullwidth left corner bracket "「". This character occupies half the typical width of a fullwidth CJK character, making it compatible with monospaced fonts or layouts for Latin text, and it is commonly employed in contexts such as quotation marks, text processing, and legacy computing systems that require a compact representation of the bracket without sacrificing its functional role in marking the start of a quotation or embedded phrase.
