Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+2AFF "⫿" N-Ary White Vertical Bar is a mathematical symbol that represents a generalized n-ary operator, typically denoting a repeated vertical bar operation or a large binary operator in advanced notation, such as in formal logic or set theory where it may indicate a product or sum over a vertical grouping. It belongs to the Supplemental Mathematical Operators block, distinguishing itself from single vertical bars by its white, hollow design and its function as a placeholder for an unspecified number of operands. This character is rarely used in everyday text but appears in specialized academic contexts, particularly in typesetting complex formulas where a composite operation needs a distinct, scalable glyph.
