Logic and Set operators Relation symbols

Mathematical Operators is a Unicode block containing characters for mathematical, logical, and set notation.

Notably absent are the plus sign (+), greater than sign () and less than sign (), due to them already appearing in the Basic Latin Unicode block, and the plus-or-minus sign (\pm), multiplication sign (\times) and obelus (\div), due to them already appearing in the Latin-1 Supplement block, although a distinct minus sign (-) is included, semantically different from the Basic Latin hyphen-minus (-).

Block

Variation sequences

The Mathematical Operators block has sixteen variation sequences defined for standardized variants. They use (VS01) to denote variant symbols (depending on the font):

Base characterBase+VS01Description
U+2205 EMPTY SETzero with long diagonal stroke overlay form
U+2229 INTERSECTIONwith serifs
U+222A UNIONwith serifs
U+2268 LESS-THAN BUT NOT EQUAL TOwith vertical stroke
U+2269 GREATER-THAN BUT NOT EQUAL TOwith vertical stroke
U+2272 LESS-THAN OR EQUIVALENT TOfollowing the slant of the lower leg
U+2273 GREATER-THAN OR EQUIVALENT TOfollowing the slant of the lower leg
U+228A SUBSET OF WITH NOT EQUAL TOwith stroke through bottom members
U+228B SUPERSET OF WITH NOT EQUAL TOwith stroke through bottom members
U+2293 SQUARE CAPwith serifs
U+2294 SQUARE CUPwith serifs
U+2295 CIRCLED PLUSwith white rim
U+2297 CIRCLED TIMESwith white rim
U+229C CIRCLED EQUALSwith equal sign touching the circle
U+22DA LESS-THAN EQUAL TO OR GREATER-THANwith slanted equal
U+22DB GREATER-THAN EQUAL TO OR LESS-THANwith slanted equal
