    Thank you for replying, but there are already specific characters for these
    and similar functions:

    239C LEFT PARENTHESIS EXTENSION
    239F RIGHT PARENTHESIS EXTENSION
    23A2 LEFT SQUARE BRACKET EXTENSION
    23A5 RIGHT SQUARE BRACKET EXTENSION
    23AA CURLY BRACKET EXTENSION
    23AE INTEGRAL EXTENSION
