U+236B "⍫" Apl Functional Symbol Del Tilde Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+236B "⍫" Apl Functional Symbol Del Tilde is a glyph used in the APL programming language, representing a specific functional operator that combines a delta-like shape with a tilde. In APL, this symbol typically denotes a variant of the "del" operator, often used for functions such as matrix inverse or for applying a dyadic operation in a user-defined way, with the tilde modifier indicating negation or a complementary operation. It belongs to the "Miscellaneous Technical" block of Unicode, which includes various symbols for computing and data processing, and its design reflects the need for concise, specialized notations that enhance expressiveness in APL code. The character is rarely encountered outside of APL contexts, but it remains an important part of the language's rich set of primitive operators.
