Right-pointing Curved Angle Bracket Symbol Meaning
⧽ (Unicode U+29FD) is a right-pointing curved angle bracket. Visually, it resembles a curved bracket that directs attention to the right, so it’s often used as a typographic marker, connector, or directional cue. Because it’s a bracket-like glyph, designers may also use it to frame or stylize phrases (for example, indicating “from… to…” or “→” style relationships) without relying on arrows. In math and technical contexts, angle-bracket terminology commonly relates to grouping or notation, though the exact meaning depends on the surrounding text and your application.
