History & usage: The RIGHT WHITE TORTOISE SHELL BRACKET belongs to the CJK Symbols and Punctuation block. Its codepoint is U+3019. This character is used as a closing bracket in many writing and typing contexts. In practice, it marks the end of a group or list. It also appears as a delimiter for parameters in some code and as a closing quote in other text forms. The symbol helps readers see where a quoted or grouped section ends. It functions similarly to other closing brackets, but it has a distinct shape that fits with East Asian typographic layouts. Typographers and writers may use it when they want a clear, balanced end marker for segments. In computer work, it acts as a token that signals closure in patterns or data structures. The character is part of a broader set of punctuation used in East Asian scripts, and it travels with other symbols that share its role as boundary markers. Users should treat it as a visual cue for end points, not as ordinary punctuation. Overall, it supports clarity in both text and code through precise grouping and quotation.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+3019 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.
