I heard it (in UK) referring to { }.

In programming circles I've come to expect: () parens, [] brackets, {} braces. Probably easier if we all try to stick to that.

Yes, as someone who lives in the UK I call () parenthesis, [] square brackets and {} curly braces to make it (somewhat) clearer. I pronounce root and route differently for the same reason. But I'm a foreigner so I can take some liberties :)

This also in the US, and < > as elbow brackets.
