Will ⦎ survive being pasted?

  • Normalisation. Yes. ⦎ is unchanged by NFKC, so it survives normalising systems intact.
  • Legacy encodings. ⦎ is Unicode-only — it has no Latin-1 equivalent, so a system stuck on an 8-bit encoding cannot represent it.
  • Size. 3 bytes in UTF-8. Character-limited fields — SMS, bios, some form validators — usually count bytes, not characters.

Other corner characters

Unicode names 10 characters ending in “corner”. They differ by direction, weight or decoration rather than by meaning.
