I note that S02 says that the unicode classes Ps/Pe are blessed to act

quotes for s/// and tr/// :).
You mean
2E00 - 2E2F Supplemental Punctuation
New Testament editorial symbols
[...]
2E02 LEFT SUBSTITUTION BRACKET
2E03 RIGHT SUBSTITUTION BRACKET
[...]
2E09 LEFT TRANSPOSITION BRACKET
2E0A RIGHT TRANSPOSITION BRACKET
That sounds like them.
But if you really want to use these characters, your source will be hard to
read without exotic fonts. You have been warned;-)
My fonts don't show them either. But we could call it "job
protection" ;).
