U+29D9 "⧙" Right Wiggly Fence Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+29D9 "⧙" Right Wiggly Fence is a specialized typographic symbol belonging to the Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols B block, designed for use in technical notation and mathematical typesetting. It visually resembles a vertical line with a sinuous or wavy form, often employed as a delimiter or fence in expressions where a conventional straight vertical bar would be inappropriate or ambiguous. This character is distinct from similar wavy symbols like the swung dash or tilde, and it finds occasional use in formal logic, set theory, or computer science contexts to indicate relationships, boundaries, or partitions within complex formulas. While rare in everyday text, the Right Wiggly Fence contributes to the precision of mathematical communication by providing a dedicated glyph for specific notational needs.
