U+213A "℺" Rotated Capital Q Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
℺
U+213A "℺" Rotated Capital Q is a typographical symbol classified under the Letterlike Symbols block, designed to represent a stylized capital letter Q that has been rotated 180 degrees. Its primary historical use is in mathematics and publishing, specifically as a symbol for the "Q" in certain notational systems, such as in formal logic or as an alternative glyph in some specialized typefaces. It should not be confused with the regular letter Q, as its rotated orientation gives it a distinct visual identity, often serving as a decorative or technical variant rather than a standard alphabetic character.
