Otto,
I seek attentively, so i think,
that bracket "stanket" (stand for egg) is __really necessary__
http://unicode2.euro.ru/site/unicode2/en/author/convert_eng.htm
especially because cognitive dissonance between brackets,
existing in Unicode now.
Bracket "hypket" maybe recommended, in addition to 2989,298a (triangle).
PC> Cf. <http://www.unicode.org/charts/symbols.html>
PC> and <http://www.unicode.org/charts/charindex.html>
Thank you a lot.
PC> U+2329 LEFT-POINTING ANGLE BRACKET
PC> U+232A RIGHT-POINTING ANGLE BRACKET
PC> U+3008 LEFT ANGLE BRACKET
PC> U+3009 RIGHT ANGLE BRACKET
Agreed, "quanket" is already exist.
(1) But what is the visual difference between these pairs of brackets ?
===not enough difference, something like cognitive dissonance
---similar
PC> U+3014 LEFT TORTOISE SHELL BRACKET
PC> U+3015 RIGHT TORTOISE SHELL BRACKET
PC> U+3018 LEFT WHITE TORTOISE SHELL BRACKET
PC> U+3019 RIGHT WHITE TORTOISE SHELL BRACKET
PC> U+301A LEFT WHITE SQUARE BRACKET
PC> U+301B RIGHT WHITE SQUARE BRACKET
Very simple to each other, there is no _enough_ difference.
PC> U+2983 LEFT WHITE CURLY BRACKET
PC> U+2984 RIGHT WHITE CURLY BRACKET
Similar to {, }, i.e. 007b,007d
PC> U+3016 LEFT WHITE LENTICULAR BRACKET
PC> U+3017 RIGHT WHITE LENTICULAR BRACKET
PC> U+3010 LEFT BLACK LENTICULAR BRACKET
PC> U+3011 RIGHT BLACK LENTICULAR BRACKET
---bad
PC> U+2045 LEFT SQUARE BRACKET WITH QUILL
PC> U+2046 RIGHT SQUARE BRACKET WITH QUILL
Bad idea: similar to mark "exist"
PC> U+300A LEFT DOUBLE ANGLE BRACKET
PC> U+300B RIGHT DOUBLE ANGLE BRACKET
Some of them are not bracket in russian.
(2) What is the visual difference between them and 27ea,27eb ?
Only by purpose ?
PC> U+300C LEFT CORNER BRACKET
PC> U+300D RIGHT CORNER BRACKET
PC> U+300E LEFT WHITE CORNER BRACKET
PC> U+300F RIGHT WHITE CORNER BRACKET
My stereotype is that's not a bracket
