U+2A08 "⨈" Two Logical or Operator Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+2A08 "⨈" Two Logical or Operator is a mathematical symbol used primarily in formal logic and computer science to denote a binary operation that applies the logical OR function twice or in a compounded manner, often representing a simultaneous disjunction of two pairs of operands or a specialized reduction operation in algebraic structures. It appears as a double vertical bar with a small circle or dot at its center, distinguishing it from the standard logical OR operator (U+2228 ∨) and the similar NAND or NOR symbols. This character belongs to the Supplemental Mathematical Operators block and is intended for use in advanced notation, such as in lattice theory, Boolean algebra, or circuit design, where multi-input or iterative disjunction needs a compact representation without ambiguity.
