Right Curly Bracket Upper Hook

169/238

⎫ is the upper-right end of a tall curly brace, not a complete closing brace. Typesetting systems use it with other segments; in ordinary text or equations, choose a complete brace that scales to its contents.

Text symbol

What ⎫ means

A typesetting system joins separate pieces. The middle and lower pieces continue the right side; extension pieces lengthen it. A matching set forms the left side.

A technical typesetting part, not a standalone punctuation mark.

Alone, ⎫ does not close an expression.

Why does ⎫ show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
