U+2350 "⍐" Apl Functional Symbol Quad Upwards Arrow Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⍐
U+2350 "⍐" Apl Functional Symbol Quad Upwards Arrow is a typographic glyph used within the APL programming language to represent a specific built in function or operator. In APL, the "quad" shape (a square box) often denotes a standard input or output operation, and combining it with an upwards arrow modifies this to indicate a process that takes the maximum value from a set of data, equivalent to the "ceiling" function or selecting the upper bound. This symbol allows programmers to write concise, array oriented code where a single character encapsulates a complex operation, reflecting APL's design philosophy of using a specialized, non standard character set for mathematical notation and data manipulation.
