Square brackets around accidentals are one (widely used) way to indicate editorially supplied accidentals.

Supporting them would be a useful addition. See here for the original request.

Neither the mscore font nor, as far as I can see, Bravura or SMuFL 1.18 seem to include square brackets, but I may have missed them.

However, it seems a worth addition, at least to mscore font (and Gonville?). Should SMuFL support them in the future, it would be rather simple to sync them.

It's probably worth posting on the SMuFL mailing list if the symbol is used a lot in published scores but not in SMuFL, it would help the standard to integrate it.
