For other uses, see ( ) (disambiguation). A bracket is a tall punctuation mark typically used in matched pairs within text, to set apart or interject other text. The matched pair may be described as opening and closing, or left and right symbols.
One final use of brackets is to enclose an ellipsis ( â¦ ), which is used to indicate that a portion of the quoted text has been omitted, usually because it is not directly important to the writerâs meaning and including it would make the quotation overly verbose.
