Meaning and usage
The Unicode character ⦊ is named z notation right binding bracket and is used as a specialized mathematical sign in contexts where its exact shape carries meaning.
Use ⦊ only when the source or field defines this exact symbol. For Z Notation Right Binding Bracket (⦊), in portable equation source, keep the character or an equivalent LaTeX command together with a written definition because visually similar signs can represent different relations or operators.
