Left Sideways U Bracket Symbol Meaning
⸦ (LEFT SIDEWAYS U BRACKET, U+2E26) is a punctuation character shaped like a sideways “U” bracket leaning to the left. Like other bracket-like punctuation, it can act as a visual delimiter that pairs well with a corresponding right-side form when you want an unusual, typographic alternative to standard quotes or parentheses. In practice, it’s most often used for formatting, stylistic emphasis, and special typographic blocks where the exact glyph matters. It may also appear in specialized texts, cataloging, or when copying symbols from editors and character tables.
