U+27CB "⟋" Mathematical Rising Diagonal Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⟋
U+27CB "⟋" Mathematical Rising Diagonal is a typographic symbol used primarily in mathematical notation to represent an ascending diagonal line, often in contexts involving matrix indices, Young tableaux, or combinatorial diagrams where a slanted upward stroke indicates a specific orientation or relationship between elements. It belongs to the Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-A block and serves as a formalized character for denoting direction or partitioning in abstract mathematical structures, distinct from simple slash characters by its intended use in formal typesetting systems like LaTeX or plain text mathematical communication.
