U+233D "⌽" Apl Functional Symbol Circle Stile Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⌽
U+233D "⌽" Apl Functional Symbol Circle Stile is a graphic character used within the APL programming language to represent the "reverse" or "rotate" operation, specifically applying a circular reversal to the axes of an array or the order of its elements. This symbol visually combines a circle with a vertical line or stile, and its name "Circle Stile" refers to this pairing, with the circle indicating the circular or cyclic nature of the operation and the stile functioning as a modifier or separator. In APL code, ⌽ is employed to perform a reversal along the last axis of an array by default, or along a specified axis when used with an axis operator, making it a concise tool for rearranging data structures.
