Not so: "brace, opening" is listed as 007B.

That table names 007D (0x007d) as "RIGHT CORNER BRACKET," "CURLY BRACKET, RIGHT," "bracket, closing curly," & "brace, closing." None of those match the opening paren the OP asked about.

Update: "PARENTHESIS, LEFT" and "parenthesis, opening" (and perhaps others?) are listed as "0028." The difference in words and capitalization is explained by the nice folks who built the chart (based on "The Unicode Standard, Version 8.0") at http://www.unicode.org/charts/aboutcharindex.html which characterizes lower-case listings as "Alternative character names (aliases)" while all-UPPER listings are "Formal character names."
