U+2BD1 "⯑" Uncertainty Sign Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+2BD1 "⯑" Uncertainty Sign is an abstract symbol introduced as part of the Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows block, designed to represent ambiguity, indeterminacy, or unknown variables in contexts such as mathematics, logic, documentation, and user interface design. It consists of a central dot encircled by a broken or open ring, visually suggesting incomplete or probabilistic information rather than a definitive fixed value. As a relatively modern addition to the Unicode standard, its primary function is to serve as a concise typographic marker for uncertainty in technical fields like cartography for map legends, or in scientific notation where a stable or certain result cannot be asserted.
