Circled Division Sign Symbol
The ⨸ symbol is the circled division sign, used to represent division in a stylized math form.
U+2A38
⨸ is known as the circled division sign (U+2A38). It’s a math symbol commonly used when you want division to look more “icon-like” than a plain ÷.
Circled Division Sign Symbol Meaning
The ⨸ symbol, called the circled division sign, represents division in a compact, decorative math style. Because it includes a circle around the division mark, it’s often used to make the operation stand out in UI elements, diagrams, and typography where plain “÷” may look less consistent with surrounding symbols. In general math contexts, it can function as a division operator; in design contexts, it can be used as a recognizable “divide” icon next to text (for example, “cost ÷ item count”). It’s also useful in technical layouts where consistent symbol styling matters.
Common uses
- •Use as a division operator in math or educational materials when a circled style is preferred
- •Pair with text in calculators or UI labels (e.g., “total ⨸ quantity”) to indicate dividing
- •Add to infographics and charts to show conversion or rate breakdowns
- •Use in document design where symbols need to match a specific typographic theme
- •Embed in code documentation or tutorials that discuss division as an operation
