As a punctuation symbol, it’s most often encountered in typesetting, editorial workflows, and documents that use special marks to signal a change or a substituted element. The “right angle” shape and dotted styling help distinguish it from regular arrows or brackets, making it useful when you need a subtle, typographic indicator rather than an explicit explanation.
