Unicode Version 17.0
⫦
U+2AE6 "⫦" Long Dash from Left Member of Double Vertical is a mathematical symbol used in formal logic and set theory to represent a specific relational or structural notation, most commonly associated with the "long dash" variant within a doubled vertical line arrangement. It appears in the Unicode block for Supplemental Mathematical Operators, and its design features a vertical bar on the left with a horizontal dash extending to the right, distinguishing it from similar symbols like the standard double vertical bar.
