About this character

U+FF5F (｟) is FULLWIDTH LEFT WHITE PARENTHESIS, an opening bracket or punctuation mark in the Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms block. Its script is Common: it is shared by many writing systems rather than belonging to one. It was added in Unicode 3.2 (2002).

It is a fullwidth form of U+2985 ⦅ (compatibility decomposition <wide>). NFC and NFD leave it alone, but NFKC and NFKD replace it with U+2985 ⦅. 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+FF60 ｠.

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