Top Curly Bracket Symbol Meaning
⏞ is the Unicode character named “TOP CURLY BRACKET” (U+23DE). As its name suggests, it represents the top portion of a curly bracket, often used in contexts where the bottom part is separate (for example, when designing bracketed structures or formatting visual groupings). In practice, people use ⏞ to add a bracket-like visual marker in text, mockups, or interfaces. Developers may also include it in documentation, code-related labels, or headings where a curly-brace style symbol is preferred but only the “top” is needed.
Common uses
- •UI mockups: display a bracket-like header marker for grouped content
- •Documentation formatting: visually indicate a structured section start
- •Design typography: add a distinctive curly-bracket accent in layouts
- •Text art and ASCII-style designs: create top curly bracket shapes
