Brackets are punctuation marks used in pairs to set apart or interject text within other text. In the United States, "bracket" sometimes refers specifically to the square or box type.[1]
There are four main types of brackets:
- round brackets, open brackets or parentheses: ( )
- square brackets, closed brackets or box brackets: [ ]
- curly brackets, squiggly brackets, swirly brackets or braces: { }
- angle brackets, diamond brackets, cone brackets or chevrons: < > or ⟨ ⟩
