Right Curly Bracket }

The Right Curly Bracket character (}) is a standard HTML entity defined in the HTML specification. In HTML source code, it can be written using the named entity reference }, the decimal numeric character reference }, or the hexadecimal numeric reference }. The character is assigned Unicode code point U+007D in the Universal Character Set.

The right curly bracket closes code blocks, object literals, and set notation opened by the left curly bracket. In programming, proper brace matching is fundamental to code correctness. Like the left brace, it may need entity encoding in template engine contexts.

Technical character entities represent brackets, delimiters, and punctuation marks that frequently require escaping in HTML source code and programming contexts. Characters like curly braces, square brackets, pipes, and backslashes often carry special meaning in templating engines, regular expressions, or markup parsers, making their explicit HTML entity encoding important for preventing unintended interpretation by the browser or build tools.

When deciding how to encode the Right Curly Bracket character in your HTML documents, the named entity } is generally the most readable choice for developers reviewing or maintaining source code. The decimal form } and hexadecimal form } are equally valid alternatives that work in contexts where named entities may not be supported, or when generating HTML output programmatically from server-side code. All three representations produce identical visual output in every modern web browser.

Use the right curly bracket entity alongside { in HTML content where template engines might interpret literal braces. It is essential for programming documentation, code tutorials, and technical writing that includes source code with brace-delimited blocks.
