We have a table which have Square Brackets, this table is access from
one of our Java program, when the Java Guys read those records with
Square Brackets (specially the opening Brackets ([), those are being
read as Caret (^).

What's the CCSID of the table and job doing the query?

IIRC, if the CCSID of either is 65535 then no character transcoding will take place and you will get the character that is represented by the absolute hex value in the current CCSID.
