Right Curly Bracket Upper Hook Symbol Meaning

⎫ is the Unicode character named RIGHT CURLY BRACKET UPPER HOOK (U+23AB). Visually, it resembles a right curly bracket with an additional upper hook, which can make it useful in specialized typography and technical formatting. As with many bracket-like symbols, it is often chosen to match a particular set of characters used together (for example, bracket pairs for a visual grouping). In day-to-day writing it’s less common than standard braces ({ }), but in fonts, diagrams, and markup contexts it may appear or be required for consistent styling.
