About the left white tortoise shell bracket symbol

〘 is a white, hollow variant of the left tortoise shell bracket, formed as an open, rounded shape that resembles a pair of parentheses but with a heavier, more squared-off contour. It appears in East Asian typography as a punctuation mark used to enclose supplementary or parenthetical text, often in formal or literary contexts such as annotations, citations, or as a secondary bracket within already-bracketed material.
