TIL! Does your default keyboard have the usual round parentheses?

They probably still exist but harder to type/require some kind of key combination. The reason to move them is not because they are not used (although in some languages probably it is) but they are less used than the additional characters in those languages

At least you can use gucharmap or other unicode lookup tools to get those characters
