U+2A58 "⩘" Sloping Large And Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⩘
U+2A58 "⩘" Sloping Large And is a typographic symbol classified under the Supplemental Mathematical Operators block, designed to represent a stylized, slanted version of the ampersand or the logical conjunction "and" in mathematical notation. Its sloped form distinguishes it from the regular upright ampersand and is primarily used in specialized mathematical or technical contexts where a tilted conjunction operator is needed for clarity or aesthetic consistency. This character is not commonly found in standard text but may appear in academic papers, typesetting systems, or notations that require precise symbolic differentiation from the familiar ampersand.
