presentation form for vertical right angle bracket

Vertical Right Angle Bracket

﹀ closes the vertical single-angle bracket pair ︿…﹀, used around titles and other text. In Taiwanese vertical Chinese it can mark an article title; in Mainland Chinese, a single-angle title can sit inside 《》. For new text, use 〉 with vertical layout; ﹀ preserves the exact vertical form for compatibility.

What ﹀ means

It closes a single-angle bracket pair in vertical CJK text. The pair ︿…﹀ can enclose an article title in Taiwanese vertical Chinese. In Mainland Chinese, single-angle title marks can appear inside 《》. Japanese translation guidance treats 〈〉 differently: retain them when they appear in the source instead of using them as ordinary Japanese quotation marks.

﹀ is a compatibility character kept for older East Asian vertical typesetting; it does not introduce a new punctuation meaning. Chinese punctuation expanded during the 20th century. The 1951 punctuation rules in Mainland China already listed 《》 as book-title marks, giving the nested-title convention a documented setting without dating ﹀ itself.

How should I type ﹀?

For new vertical text, use 〉 and enable vertical layout. Unicode recommends storing the ordinary CJK bracket and letting the layout select its vertical glyph.

NFKC normalization folds ﹀ to 〉. Avoid that normalization when the exact character identity matters.

Technical and typographic; outside vertical CJK text, it usually signals an exact-character or legacy-encoding need.

NFKC turns ﹀ into 〉 when exact character identity matters.

Why did my exact ﹀ become 〉?
