Unicode Version 17.0
⦹
U+29B9 "⦹" Circled Perpendicular is a specialized typographic symbol from the Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-B block, designed to represent a perpendicular orientation enclosed within a circle. It is primarily used in technical and mathematical contexts, such as geometry, engineering, or notation systems, where a circled version of the standard perpendicular sign (⟂) helps clarify diagrams or spatial relationships. This character is not commonly found in everyday text but serves a precise function in scholarly or scientific documents, allowing for concise visual indication of perpendicularity within a bounded or grouped notation.
