U+27CC "⟌" Long Division Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⟌
U+27CC "⟌" Long Division is a mathematical symbol formally known as the Long Division operator, and it is used in arithmetic to represent the traditional long division bracket or division radical. In standard notation, this symbol is placed to the left of the dividend, with the divisor written to its left, and it indicates the process of dividing a larger number into smaller steps. While it is visually distinct from the more common division sign (÷) or the solidus (/), the long division symbol is specifically tied to the algorithmic layout of manual calculation. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that this classic notation can be accurately rendered in digital text, preserving the educational and computational uses of the method.
