Mathematical Right Flattened Parenthesis Symbol
⟯ is a Unicode math symbol used as a right flattened parenthesis.
U+27EF
⟯ is a Unicode character named “MATHEMATICAL RIGHT FLATTENED PARENTHESIS” (U+27EF). It’s used in mathematical notation to visually shape how expressions are grouped. You can copy it directly or insert it via its Unicode escapes.
Mathematical Right Flattened Parenthesis Symbol Meaning
⟯ (U+27EF) represents a “mathematical right flattened parenthesis.” As a typographic symbol, it’s mainly used in mathematical contexts where authors want a specific bracket-like shape that differs from standard parentheses. The “flattened” look helps match certain styles of notation, especially in equation formatting systems and fonts that include this glyph. Like other math punctuation, its role is primarily visual/structural: it helps readers interpret the boundaries of an expression, often pairing naturally with a corresponding left flattened parenthesis when such notation is used.
Common uses
- •Typing math notation that requires a flattened right parenthesis style
- •Formatting equations in documents or editors that support Unicode math symbols
- •Designing typography for math-heavy posters, slides, or infographics
- •Writing technical blog posts where exact symbol shapes matter
- •Using the symbol in code, markup, or templates that output Unicode math text
