Yes -- when doing C-u C-x on { in fundamental-mode I read Character code properties: customize what to show name: LEFT CURLY BRACKET old-name: OPENING CURLY BRACKET general-category: Ps (Punctuation, Open) ^^^^^^^^^^^ and this is the same in org-mode, as org-mode does not modify the syntax of this character. So I think `{' is generally a considered a "punctuation" character (compare it to the `*' char, which also falls into two categories, "punctuation" and "other".) -- Bastien
