U+2221 "∡" Measured Angle Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
∡
U+2221 "∡" Measured Angle is a mathematical symbol used to denote an angle that has been assigned a specific degree measurement, distinguishing it from a plain, unmeasured angle often represented by the similar symbol "∠". In geometry and technical notation, it typically appears above or alongside the actual numerical value, such as "∡ ABC=60°", to clearly indicate that the angle's magnitude has been quantified. This character is part of the Unicode block for mathematical operators and is more precise in formal proofs or diagrams where the distinction between a named angle and a measured one is necessary.
