U+2371 "⍱" Apl Functional Symbol down Caret Tilde Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⍱
U+2371 "⍱" Apl Functional Symbol down Caret Tilde is a graphic symbol used in the APL programming language, where it represents the "Nand" logical operation, meaning it yields a true result only when both of its two input values are not simultaneously true. This character visually combines a downward-pointing caret, resembling a "v" or "down caret," with a tilde overlaid, signifying negation or logical complement. As part of the APL functional symbols block, it allows APL programmers to write concise, symbolic code for complex array operations, though it is rarely encountered outside of that specific computing context.
