textbraceright

Represents a right curly brace character within regular text mode, commonly used for displaying literal braces in mathematical or technical writing.

Overview

Provides a way to display a right curly brace as a normal text character without triggering LaTeX's grouping functionality. This symbol is particularly valuable when:

  • Documenting programming languages or code snippets that use curly braces
  • Writing about LaTeX syntax itself
  • Creating technical documentation where literal brace characters need to be shown
  • Displaying mathematical set builder notation in a text context

Examples

Using right brace as a text character in a mathematical expression

f(x)=x2 }x>0f(x) = x^2 \text{ \textbraceright} x > 0 
f(x) = x^2 \text{ \textbraceright} x > 0

Right brace in a piecewise function definition

f(x)={x2x<0xx≥0 } continuous at x=0f(x) = \begin{cases} x^2 & x < 0 \\ x & x \geq 0 \end{cases} \text{ \textbraceright} \text{ continuous at } x=0 
f(x) = \begin{cases} x^2 & x < 0 \\ x & x \geq 0 \end{cases} \text{ \textbraceright} \text{ continuous at } x=0

Right brace as a delimiter in set notation

A={x∈R:x>0 }A = \{ x \in \mathbb{R} : x > 0 \text{ \textbraceright} 
A = \{ x \in \mathbb{R} : x > 0 \text{ \textbraceright}
