History & usage: The RIGHT TORTOISE SHELL BRACKET is a symbol in the CJK Symbols and Punctuation block. It has the code point U+3015. In text and code, this bracket is used to group items. It helps set apart a set of parameters or a list of values. It also marks quoted text in some styles. The symbol appears in writing systems that use CJK punctuation. In practice, writers and developers may rely on it to clearly separate elements inside comments, strings, or data structures. Its use parallels other bracket types that organize content and reduce ambiguity. When seen in mixed language text, it signals a boundary for a group or a parameter list. The bracket is part of a broader set of punctuation used for pacing and structure. People may choose it when they want a clear, distinct boundary that fits with East Asian typographic conventions. Overall, this character serves as a practical tool for delimiting and quoting in both writing and code.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+3015 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.

Compatibility & troubleshooting

Web pages: ensure your CSS font stack includes a general fallback; avoid relying on images for common symbols to preserve accessibility and copyability.
