U+22BC "⊼" Nand Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⊼
U+22BC "⊼" Nand is a logical operator symbol that represents the NAND operation, which is a fundamental gate in digital logic and Boolean algebra. This symbol denotes a binary operation that outputs false only when both of its two input values are true, and true in all other cases, effectively functioning as the negation of the logical AND. The NAND operator is notable because it is functionally complete, meaning that any other logical operation can be constructed using only a combination of NAND gates, making it a cornerstone of computer circuitry and logical design.
