U+2AFB "⫻" Triple Solidus Binary Relation Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+2AFB "⫻" Triple Solidus Binary Relation is a mathematical symbol used in formal logic and set theory to denote a specific three-way relational operator, often interpreted as a triadic equivalence or a ternary connective that relates three arguments simultaneously. Unlike a standard binary relation which connects two elements, this symbol indicates a simultaneous mutual relationship or a threefold partition, sometimes appearing in the context of abstract algebra or lattice theory to represent a special kind of congruence or dependency among three distinct variables. Its visual design of three parallel slanted lines evokes a sense of equality or correspondence extended to three entities, distinguishing it from similar binary symbols like the triple bar for logical equivalence.
