U+238D "⎍" Monostable Symbol Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⎍
U+238D "⎍" Monostable Symbol is a technical graphic used primarily in electronic circuit diagrams and schematics to represent a monostable multivibrator, a digital logic component that, when triggered, produces a single output pulse of a fixed duration. This symbol helps engineers and technicians quickly identify the component's function in a circuit, where it typically controls timing, debouncing, or pulse generation. Its design visually suggests a single stable state, contrasting with the astable or bistable symbols found in similar notation. The character is part of the Miscellaneous Technical block of Unicode, ensuring its availability for digital documentation and computer aided design systems.
