What these symbols are for

Guillemets, corner brackets and lenticular brackets are the quotation marks of French, Russian, Japanese and Chinese. Using the right pair makes a translated quote look native instead of pasted.

There are 58 characters in this set. The grid above is the fastest way to take one — tap it and it is on your clipboard. The table below gives the official Unicode name of each character, which is the name used by every database, font tool and search box.

How to copy and paste brackets & quotes

Every character on this page is a button, and the steps are identical on a phone, a tablet and a desktop:

Nothing is installed and nothing is uploaded. These are standard Unicode characters, so the device you are already holding knows how to draw them.

Where these characters work, and where they do not

Ordinary text is safe everywhere. The problems start with two groups: characters that need a font the receiving device may not ship with, and applications that deliberately filter what you can type.

PlaceWorks?What to expect
Instagram, TikTok, X bio and captionsYesSymbols and emoji both display; a handful of rare glyphs may render as a box on older Android versions
Discord display name and messagesYesAlmost everything works, including the rarer box-drawing characters
WhatsApp, Telegram, SignalYesFull support for emoji and symbols
Word, Google Docs, Excel, SheetsYesFine on a desktop; fonts on older Office installs may miss the newest glyphs
Most online games (usernames)SometimesMany titles strip anything outside their font. Test with one symbol first
SMSYes, butAn emoji can push a message into a longer billing segment

The practical rule: if you are decorating a bio or a document, paste freely. If you are building a username that has to survive a game login screen, start with one character, confirm it appears, then add the rest.

Frequently asked questions

What are « » called?Guillemets. They are the standard quotation marks in French, Russian, Spanish and several other languages.
What are 「 」 used for?Japanese and Chinese quotation. The white version 『 』 is for a quote inside a quote.
Can I use these in English writing?You can, though a pair of guillemets in English text reads as a deliberate style choice rather than a correction.
