Text symbol

What 🉀 means

It marks a home run in Japanese baseball scoring.

Unicode 18.0 describes this Japanese baseball-scoring use; 本 is enclosed as part of the full mark.

Why is 本 inside those brackets?

The shape comes from Japan’s ARIB STD-B24 character set.

ARIB STD-B24 sets rules for coding and transmitting digital-broadcast data. Unicode records 🉀’s compatibility form as 〔本〕.

Specialist score notation from Japanese baseball.

Without baseball context, the scorekeeping meaning may be missed.

Don't confuse it with

〔本〕 Three separate characters: brackets around 本. Unicode normalization can turn the single 🉀 into this sequence.

Combination ideas

Questions people ask

Can 🉀 turn into 〔本〕?

Yes. Unicode’s NFKC compatibility normalization expands 🉀 to 〔本〕, a three-character sequence. Software comparing exact strings can distinguish the one-character mark from that sequence.
