Symbol for square bracket with only one horizontal line

Question

The way cycles in permutations are written in my country's textbooks (Serbia) is with square brackets [ and ], but with only one horizontal line at the top to denote the beginning of the permutation, and only one horizontal line at the bottom at the end.

Is there a symbol in LaTeX for this?

I didn't know about detexify. This is incredible, thank you very much! — Matija Sreckovic, Sep 07 '17 at 21:35
I would go with \newcommand{\permcycle}[1]{\lceil #1 \rfloor} and then use $\permcycle{1, 2, 3} \permcycle{p, q}$ . — Werner, Sep 07 '17 at 21:37

detexify is able to translate handwritten symbols into possible commands (and necessary packages). In this case, it's top hits look to be $\lceil$ and $\rfloor$ .
