In writing, it can set off a phrase or highlight a term without changing line structure. In code, it helps indicate parameters or arguments inside statements. The symbol is read as a closing or right-side bracket in practical use, pairing with a left-side form where present. The mark supports clarity in dense text, lists, and algorithm steps. It has a simple, unambiguous role and does not rely on color or font changes to convey its function.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2E27 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.
