Parentheses ( ) set off asides, square brackets [ ] mark editorial additions or links, and curly braces { } appear in code and set notation. The < and > keys are only stand-ins for angle brackets. For true angle brackets, such as the inner product in mathematics, use ⟨ and ⟩ instead.
« » are French-style quotation marks. Their spacing and direction vary, and German often uses them reversed, as in »Wort«. Japanese uses 「 」 for quotes and 『 』 for titles or quotes within quotes. 【 】 often frame headings or labels, and 《 》 mark book titles in Chinese. These are wide characters designed to sit beside CJK text.
⌈x⌉ means the ceiling of x, rounding up, and ⌊x⌋ means the floor, rounding down. ⟦ ⟧ and ⦅ ⦆ appear in logic and computer science. Always paste both halves of a pair, and check that your font includes them, since mathematical brackets are less common than the basic ones.
Always type the opening and closing bracket as a pair, and nest them in a consistent order. Nested parentheses are often swapped for square brackets inside round ones, as in (see [1]). In code, mismatched braces cause errors, so check each pair carefully.
Round brackets are parentheses (), square brackets are [], curly brackets are braces {}, and angle brackets are <> or the mathematical ⟨⟩.
Copy them from this page or use a Japanese input method. They are U+300C and U+300D, and 『 』 are U+300E and U+300F.
< and > are the ASCII less-than and greater-than signs. ⟨ and ⟩ are true mathematical angle brackets designed to be used as a bracket pair.
