Description.

The Unicode character set includes just about every character in every known language (there are, of course, some missing), as well as a number of other characters: mathematical symbols, monetary units, graphic symbols, pictograms, etc.

To help you find the one you are looking for, use the tool below. It allows searches by keyword or by code range. Not all characters are present, in particular, the CJK ideograms, which are very numerous, are not included. Thank you for your understanding.

The 4 characters corresponding to your search are listed below.

Mirror characters.

The result of your search contains mirror characters. These are characters that work in pairs, and whose shape is symmetrical with respect to the vertical axis. The most common ones are parentheses, brackets and braces, but many mathematical symbols are also mirroring : the greater than (>) and lower than (<) symbols, for example.

The shape of the characters is designed for Latin languages, which are written from left to right, but are ill-suited for writing in the opposite direction, as in the case of Arabic languages.

Mirror characters

The Unicode standard provides the possibility of replacing a character with its mirror when the writing direction is from right to left, in the case of Arabic languages, for example.

Here are some examples :

From left to right
