U+232F "⌯" Symmetry Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+232F "⌯" Symmetry is a graphical symbol included in the Miscellaneous Technical block, often described as a stylized representation of a symmetrical, three-pronged or branched form. Its design features a central vertical axis with mirrored, outwardly curving arms or strokes, which makes it conceptually analogous to a tree-like or skeletal structure. In practice, this character has been used in diagrams and notations to denote symmetry, balance, or a branching point, particularly in contexts such as technical drawing, flowcharting, or early computer interface symbols.
