U+223F "∿" Sine Wave Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+223F "∿" Sine Wave is a typographic symbol representing the mathematical sine wave, a continuous, smooth oscillation commonly used in physics, engineering, and signal processing to describe periodic phenomena such as alternating current, sound waves, and harmonic motion. Visually it resembles a single, stylized, wavy line curving above and below a central axis, differing slightly from the more angular tilde character. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard allows for precise representation in digital text, notation, and diagrams where a dedicated sine wave symbol is needed, especially in contexts where a clear, non-linguistic waveform is required.
