I found these… ⎡ ⎦ but the half brackets may be font dependent.
How do you type those?
Press Control + Command + Space — this brings up the Emoji/Character viewer. On the left side of the box, there are a list of categories. You should see a category called "Box Drawing." If you don't, click on the gear icon at the top of the Characters box and then choose "Customize List." You can add it from there. Once you do, click on it, and the left/right brackets are in the very first group you see. See screenshot below:

Tom, Thank you very much.
I am able to add those to my favorite.
Let me ask more question...
How do I easily type those brackets? If not Copy and Paste them?

Well, whether you go my route or his, you just double-click on them and they'll be added to your post, your Tweet, your document.....whatever the situation may be. I don't believe either of them have a keyboard combination that will allow you to type them manually, like Shift + Option + K will give you the Apple symbol -->
pinkstones,
I understand.
Thank you very much!

Normally you would be using a Japanese or Chinese input method when those brackets are typed. Do you want instructions on how to do that?
Otherwise you could make shortcuts for them in the substitution grid seen in system preferences/keyboard/text
I am typing in English writing but I often add Japanese word in the brackets.
For example,
Ebisu 「恵比須 」is one of the seven god of fortune.
Sapporo Breweries Limited 「サッポロビール株式会社 」is the oldest beer brand of Japan.
Hence, I need to use those brackets often.

How are you doing that? With Apple's Kotoeri Hiragana IM? Or some other way?
I copied and pasted them from other document.
But there were without bracket, I have to do 2 round of copied and pasted.
First round for Brackets.
Second round for Japanese word.
This is why I ask how to type bracket easily.
Aside from the replacement system of system prefs/keyboard/text which I mentioned earlier, you could switch to the Hiragana input keyboard, set to Kana Typing, and type shift = for 「 and shift [ for 」
