U+2980 "⦀" Triple Vertical Bar Delimiter Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⦀
U+2980 "⦀" Triple Vertical Bar Delimiter is a typographic symbol belonging to the Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-B block, designed for use in mathematical notation and formal logic. It consists of three parallel vertical lines and functions primarily as a delimiter, often employed to denote a vector norm, a triple linear relation, or to separate elements in specialized algebraic or geometric contexts. While visually distinct from the double vertical bar (U+2016) or the single vertical bar (U+007C), this character provides a clear visual cue in technical documents where a third tier of separation is needed, ensuring precision in complex expressions.
