When to use it
⎴ writes U+23B4 (Top Square Bracket), a symbol from the Unicode Miscellaneous Technical block, encoded since Unicode 3.2. Symbols vary in shape and size between fonts, so check how it renders in the font your page uses.
The name comes from the HTML5 list (much of it shared with MathML), so it works in every current browser but not in XML or XHTML served as XML, where the numeric reference is the safe choice.
