About this character

U+FE5B (﹛) is SMALL LEFT CURLY BRACKET, an opening bracket or punctuation mark in the Small Form Variants block. Its script is Common: it is shared by many writing systems rather than belonging to one. It was added in Unicode 1.1 (1993).

It is a small variant of U+007B { (compatibility decomposition <small>). NFC and NFD leave it alone, but NFKC and NFKD replace it with U+007B {. Search engines, identifier checks and username systems that apply NFKC will treat the two as the same text.

It is a mirrored character: in right-to-left text it is displayed as its mirror image, which matches U+FE5C ﹜.

Its East Asian Width is Wide, so terminals and monospaced layouts give it two columns.
