Common uses & context
The character ')' — Right Parenthesis — has ASCII code 41 (0x29), octal 0051, binary 00101001. Right parenthesis. Closes a group.
Punctuation and symbol codes carry the most syntactic weight per byte in programming: a single ')' can change how a parser reads an entire expression. When ')' needs to appear as literal data rather than syntax, you often have to escape it — in string literals, in regular expressions, in URLs (where it becomes %29), or in HTML. Knowing its exact code point (41) helps when you filter, validate, or sanitize input byte by byte.
