Next step
How it works
【】, Black lenticular brackets, is the first pair. A pair is two characters: paste it, then type in the middle. The 119 rows of bracket symbols hold 81 pairs, all 65 that Unicode lists as brackets among them, 34 single brackets and 4 nested sets.
Read the full guide
Wide pairs and narrow pairs
【】, 「」, 《》 and the other CJK pairs are full width: each half takes the room of a Chinese character. ⟦⟧, ⟨⟩ and ornament pairs such as ❨❩ are not, so they suit Latin text. The last five pairs date from 2021 and 2026 and may show as empty boxes. Frames of several lines are on text borders.
Tips
⟨ and ⟩ pointed at the deprecated pair U+2329 and U+232A in HTML 4. Today they give ⟨ and ⟩, U+27E8 and U+27E9.
The tick brackets pair across the code chart: ⦍, U+298D, closes with ⦐, U+2990, and ⦏, U+298F, with ⦎, U+298E.
The official name of U+FE18 spells bracket as BRAKCET. Unicode never renames a character, so the typo is permanent.
Questions and answers
How do I copy and paste one bracket symbol, not the pair?
The group One bracket, with its codes holds 26 opening and closing brackets as rows of their own, each with whatever HTML entity, LaTeX macro, Alt code or Option key it has. Or copy a pair and delete one half.
What are the 【】 brackets called?
Unicode names them Left black lenticular bracket and Right black lenticular bracket, U+3010 and U+3011. Japanese calls them sumitsuki kakko and Chinese fāngtóu kuòhào. Both languages use them in titles and headings, and online they emphasise a word.
How do I type angle brackets in LaTeX and HTML?
In LaTeX, \langle and \rangle print ⟨ and ⟩ with no package. In HTML, ⟨ and ⟩ give the same two. The < and > on a keyboard are the less-than and greater-than signs, which HTML writes as < and >.
Is there an Alt code for brackets?
Four rows have one, all for guillemets: Alt+174 types «, Alt+175 types », Alt+0139 types ‹ and Alt+0155 types ›, on the number pad. Round, square and curly brackets are on the keyboard. Every other pair here is copied, or written as an HTML entity.
【】Black lenticular bracketsMade of U+3010 and U+3011. Titles and headings in Chinese and Japanese, and online a way to make one word loud. Japanese calls them sumitsuki kakko. Type between the two.
「」Corner bracketsMade of U+300C and U+300D. The ordinary quotation marks of Japanese, kagikakko, each as wide as a CJK character.
《》Double angle bracketsMade of U+300A and U+300B. Title marks: Simplified Chinese puts the name of a book or a film between them. They are full CJK width, so they are not the guillemets « ».
❰❱Heavy angle bracket ornamentsMade of U+2770 and U+2771. One of three angle pairs in Unicode's Ornamental brackets row, U+2768 to U+2775. The other two are ❬❭ and ❮❯.
