Brackets come in pairs

Unicode encodes the opening and closing bracket as two characters, usually one after the other: 【 (U+3010 LEFT BLACK LENTICULAR BRACKET) and 】 (U+3011 RIGHT BLACK LENTICULAR BRACKET). Copy both, then type your word in between.

Brackets from East Asian text

Corner brackets 「」 and lenticular brackets 【】 are part of Unicode's CJK Symbols and Punctuation block, so they're as wide as a Chinese character, which makes them good for framing a name.
