Lower Half Left Square Brackets
Lower Half Right Square Brackets
Very common: occurs 6,416 times in 72 authors in
TLG corpus, possibly other texts.
Properties: Ps and Pe
Similar to:
02FB and 02FC (wrong properties: Sk)
231E and 231F (wrong properties: So)
Upper Half Left Square Brackets
Upper Half Right Square Brackets

Hollow Lower Half Left Square
Brackets
Hollow Lower Half Right Square
Brackets
Properties: Ps and Pe
Left Pointing Double Angle Bracket
Rights Pointing Double Angle Bracket
One set of characters seems appropriate:
27EA (Ps) Mathematical Left Double Angle Bracket
27EB (Pe) Mathematical Right Double Angle Bracket
If mathematical properties do not cause
problems, then these characters would be
ideal.
Three sets of characters are similar in
appearance/properties:
00AB (Pi) and 00BB (Pf) Guillemets.
These quotation marks are too small for the
angle brackets we are proposing. Further,
unification of the angle brackets with the
guillemets because of the distinction
between brackets and quotation marks and
that they could both occur in the same text.
226A (Sm) Much Less Than, 226B(Sm) Much Greater
Than
These characters have the wrong properties.
300A (Ps) and 300B (Pe) Double Angle Brackets
These characters have a ‘Wide’ property.
Otherwise they are fine
Inverted Crux Properties: Po
Miscellaneous Symbols
Rho Abbreviation Symbol
Conventional and common (149 instances in TLG
corpus) modification of letter rho to indicate
abbreviation or occasionally the weight gramma.
Properties: So
