Type :left_lenticular_bracket: · Punctuation

What 【 is for

The heavy filled bracket that opens a label. Japanese and Chinese headlines use 【 to tag a post before its title, in the way English writes BREAKING or a bracketed category, and it has spread to video titles and forum posts everywhere.

How to type 【

Windows

No Alt code. In Word, type 3010 then press Alt + X. Elsewhere use the emoji panel with Win + Period, or Character Map.
