U+2A5A "⩚" Logical and with Middle Stem Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⩚
U+2A5A "⩚" Logical and with Middle Stem is a mathematical symbol used primarily in formal logic and algebra to represent the logical conjunction operator (AND), distinguished from the standard "∧" by a short vertical stem that extends upward from the middle of the symbol. This design variation helps differentiate it from similar-looking characters in specialized typesetting, such as in older mathematical notation or in contexts where clarity is needed between logical operators and other wedge-shaped glyphs. It is encoded in the Supplemental Mathematical Operators block of Unicode and is intended for use in scholarly and technical documents where precise symbolic distinction is required.
