U+22BA "⊺" Intercalate Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⊺
U+22BA "⊺" Intercalate is a mathematical symbol that represents a binary operation used primarily in abstract algebra and lattice theory, specifically denoting the operation of intercalation or the median operation in certain algebraic structures. Its shape resembles an uppercase letter "I" with a crossbar through its center, visually suggesting an insertion or joining of elements. This character belongs to the "Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-A" block and is typically employed in formal logic and order theory to express a commutative and associative operation that sits between the more common intersection and union operations in distributive lattices.
