The Unicode Basic Latin (ASCII) code chart has the following entries for the parenthesis code points:

0028  (  LEFT PARENTHESIS
         = opening parenthesis (1.0)

0029  )  RIGHT PARENTHESIS
         = closing parenthesis (1.0)
         • see discussion on semantics of paired
         bracketing characters

As far as I can see, the document has no further information on which "discussion on semantics of paired bracketing characters" it is referring to. I'm guessing it is about "left"/"right" vs "opening"/"closing", but I would like to know more.

When I search the web for phrases like "semantics of paired bracketing characters" I only get the same document in various versions.

What discussion is it referring to and where can I read it?

@n.m. Thank you. Hm, so the "semantics" in question does not concern the naming as I guessed, but semantics of which brackets in a text should be considered a pair? – last-child Dec 01 '17 at 14:03

Yes, it's about meaning, not naming. – n. m. could be an AI Dec 01 '17 at 16:25
