U+2A3D "⨽" Righthand Interior Product Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+2A3D "⨽" Righthand Interior Product is a mathematical symbol used in differential geometry and algebra to denote a specific type of interior product, which is a contraction between a vector field and a differential form or, more generally, an operation in exterior algebra. Unlike the more common left interior product, this variant indicates that the vector is applied from the right side, often written as ι_X α where the vector X acts on the form α on the right. It appears in contexts such as supergeometry, graded algebras, and the study of Poisson structures, where the order of operations is significant for sign conventions and algebraic consistency. The symbol itself is a stylized combination of a right angle bracket or wedge with a vertical bar, visually suggesting the insertion of a vector into a form from the right.
