U+2B97 "⮗" Symbol for Type A Electronics Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+2B97 "⮗" Symbol for Type A Electronics is a specialized typographic symbol used in technical diagrams and standards documentation to denote a specific configuration of connected "Type A" electronic components or ports, most often representing a three-pronged or triangular arrangement of electrical contacts such as those found in certain power connectors, audio jacks, or early radio equipment. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard allows engineers, hobbyists, and translators to reproducibly typeset this specific icon without relying on custom fonts or images. The symbol itself resembles a rotated uppercase letter "A" or a stylized triangle with a central stem, though its exact meaning can vary by context. While not commonly used in everyday text, it remains a useful reference in legacy electronic schematics and technical manuals where precise identification of connector types is necessary.
