U+2282 "⊂" Subset Of Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⊂
U+2282 "⊂" Subset Of is a mathematical symbol representing the set theory relation where one set is entirely contained within another, meaning every element of the first set is also an element of the second set, though often it permits the possibility that the two sets are equal unless specifically denoted as a proper subset. This character is essential in formal logic, mathematics, and computer science for defining relationships between collections of objects, and it is distinct from the similar but deeper "⊊" symbol used for strict proper subsets.
