History & usage: In the character set for Superscripts and Subscripts, the right parenthesis in superscript form is U+207E. Its official name is Superscript Right Parenthesis. It belongs to the Common script and sits in the Superscripts and Subscripts block. The symbol looks like a close parenthesis placed higher than the baseline. It is used mainly as a typographic tool. In writing and in code, it helps to mark the end of a quoted group or a parameter carried in a superscript. The usage is simple: brackets and quotes delimit groups, parameters, or quoted text, and the superscript parenthesis acts as the closing mark in those cases. This keeps the main line readable and signals a boundary. Users apply it when they want a compact, raised closing mark. It is seen in formulas, notes, or compact annotations where vertical space is limited. It is not a common punctuation in plain text, but it has a clear role in selected contexts.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+207E
in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.
Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
