Right Double Square Bracket ⟧

Semantic identity and intent

Characters to distinguish

• + — Plus Sign
• − — Minus Sign
• × — Multiplication Sign

Use ⟧ in the right format

Meaning and usage

Marks the right double square bracket used to group expressions, denote inner products, intervals, semantics, or specialized mathematical structures.

Always pair ⟧ with its matching delimiter and choose scalable LaTeX delimiters for tall fractions, matrices, and nested expressions.

Pronunciation: right double square bracket

Formula examples

How to type Right Double Square Bracket

Windows

Use Character Map or enter U+27E7 in a Unicode-aware application.

macOS

Open Character Viewer with Control–Command–Space and search by the symbol name.

Microsoft Word

In an equation, type \rrbracket and press Space when Word supports the command.

iPhone and iPad

Copy and paste ⟧, or use a math/LaTeX app. The standard iOS keyboard may not expose every mathematical symbol.

Android

Copy and paste ⟧, or use a math keyboard or LaTeX editor. Keyboard layouts vary by device and app.

Google Docs

For plain text, paste ⟧ or use Insert → Special characters. For structured math, use the equation editor and verify \rrbracket.

Excel

Paste ⟧ into a cell or use Insert → Symbol when available. Ordinary cells preserve the character but do not interpret LaTeX commands.

Common mistakes

• Preserve grouping, operator order, and spacing around ⟧; Always pair ⟧ with its matching delimiter and choose scalable LaTeX delimiters for tall fractions, matrices, and nested expressions.
• For plain text, copy ⟧ as U+27E7; for structured equations, use \rrbracket in math mode. A look-alike glyph or image can break search, accessibility, or parsing when the intended character is Right Double Square Bracket.

When to use ⟧

• Use ⟧ in plain text when a Unicode character is appropriate and the destination preserves U+27E7.
• Use \rrbracket in an equation editor when mathematical spacing or structure matters.
• Define the local meaning when Right Double Square Bracket is used in basic math, functions operators with a field-specific convention.

Look-alikes and related characters

• + — Plus Sign
• − — Minus Sign
• × — Multiplication Sign

Font and compatibility notes

Glyph shape can vary by font. Verify the code point after copying, and prefer LaTeX or MathML for structured equations.
