Right Curly Bracket }
} (U+7D) is a standard Unicode character that you can copy and paste anywhere text is accepted. This page provides a concise reference with safe tips, internal links, and practical guidance so you can use it reliably across apps and platforms.
What it is and where it’s used: Right Curly Bracket is part of the Symbols family (block: Basic Latin). If you need styled or decorative alternatives, try our Fancy Text tool to generate compatible text that works in most modern interfaces.
History & usage: The RIGHT CURLY BRACKET, code point U+7D, is a character in the Basic Latin block used in many types of writing and coding. It belongs to the Common script, so it appears across languages that use the Latin alphabet with minimal changes. In history, braces grew from notation in math and early computing where grouped items needed clear boundaries. The symbol marks the end of a group or list in some contexts. In programming, developers use it to close blocks, arguments, or code sections. It helps separate parameters or quoted text from the rest of the line. The shape is a curved, closed brace, distinct from the left brace. This position on a keyboard varies by layout, but the symbol is widely available in modern keyboards and character sets. In use today, you may see it paired with a left curly bracket to surround blocks or items. It is common in documentation, data formats, and scripting. When you encounter it, treat it as a delimiter that signals a boundary or end point for a group.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+7D
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
Font support: if the symbol does not render, the current font likely lacks this codepoint. Choose a font with broad Unicode coverage or allow a fallback font.
Web pages: ensure your CSS font stack includes a general fallback; avoid relying on images for common symbols to preserve accessibility and copyability.
