@faggotracist1488 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfk3dgpAalsThere's a handful of stuff in Unicode that doesn't even fucking exist because of weird circumstances.Unicode was designed to be backwards compatible with everything ever written and they have lots of room to do it. XD

@Paradox yeah but you dont need backwards compatibility for that because, again, you HAVE PARENS AND NUMBERS ALREADY

@faggotracist1488 The problem is that's three characters instead of one. If you wanna digitize a document, you have to map the special character to that sequence, and I guess it was just easier to not do that.

@faggotracist1488 I can't say I'm an expert on this stuff, so it could be a different reason, this is just my best guess.One thing I'll say is that this was probably put into Unicode way before OCR was any good.
