They are all brackets.
( ){ }[ ]⟨ ⟩ in English:

  • (   ) round brackets or Parentheses
  • {   } curly brackets or Braces
  • [   ] square brackets or Brackets
  • <> angle brackets or Chevrons

( ){ }[ ]⟨ ⟩ in Chinese:

  • (   ) 小括号
  • {   } 大括号
  • [   ] 中括号
  • <> 尖括号

Chinese is not that there are no other names for these symbols, but that these are the most commonly used.

For example "()" can be called "圆括号", "{}" can be called "花括号", "[]" can be called "方括号", ……

Chinese tends to distinguish the first three kinds of brackets with big, middle and small, but the fourth kind of brackets has only one name.
