and meaning of each symbols.
thank you so much.
God bless you.

Daniel, Could you paste in what you are referring to? Of if it's in printed material give the verse reference and tell what you see there?
Sincerely yours,

Now that I read your posting on Dan 8:11:
() encloses the kethib or written text. This is the way it is written in the Masoretic text.
[] encloses the qere or read text. This is a note from the Masoretic scribes in which they say that they think that the kethib text is in error and the qere text should be read instead.
: marks the end of a verse
You'd have to show me a verse with a comma
