Circled Reverse Solidus Symbol Meaning
⦸ (Circled Reverse Solidus) is a Unicode math/typographic symbol that represents a circled backslash-like mark. Because it includes a reverse solidus shape in a circled presentation, it’s often used when a designer or typesetter needs a distinctive “backslash” symbol that stands apart from the plain character. In practice, it can appear in mathematical notation, custom symbol systems, or as a decorative glyph in UI icons, badges, and labeling. If you’re building a consistent symbol style (especially for logic, sets, or indexing systems), using ⦸ helps maintain a clear, recognizable mark rather than an ambiguous slash.
Common uses
- •Math and logic notation styling where a circled backslash mark is needed
- •Creating custom symbol legends, badges, or annotation labels in UI mockups
- •Typography and layout mockups that require a distinctive backslash variant
- •Scientific or technical documents that use Unicode symbol sets consistently
- •Designing icons or character art where a circled slash-like glyph works well
