Common uses & context
The character ']' — Right Square Bracket — has ASCII code 93 (0x5D), octal 0135, binary 01011101. Right square bracket. Closes array literals and index accesses.
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 %5D), or in HTML. Knowing its exact code point (93) helps when you filter, validate, or sanitize input byte by byte.
