: UTF8 numerate brackets I used the minus for every dash in the past and found better characters like en dash, em dash, figure dash ... Is there any replacement for the primitive ) in UTF8

@Turnbaugh909

The Unicode blocks Enclosed Alphanumerics and Enclosed Alphanumeric Supplement include such characters as:


⑦ – circled digit seven
⑺ – parenthesized digit seven
⒎ – digit seven full stop
– digit seven comma


However, these symbols exist mostly for compatibility with encodings for CJK (East Asian) typesetting. From the Unicode Standard:


Nearly all of the enclosed and square symbols in the Unicode Standard are considered compatibility characters, encoded for interoperability with other character sets.


This in particular implies that such combinations and similar ones like 7) are not considered to be something that requires special encoding by the authors of the standard. Hence, the naïve approach of using the characters from Basic Latin is the correct one.

There are multiple types of right parenthesis, I will reference Fileformat:

Typical is what is used in textual list references I've seen: )



Full width: ）



Ornate: ﴿



Also reference:



You do not mention what you're using this for and this is also based on what is built into the font. So I would reference the font to see, in an application like Suitcase Fusion, where the character set is visible with it's called entity they've developed for.
