Closed Superset Or Equal To Symbol
⫒ denotes a closed superset relationship, meaning a set includes another set (or is equal).
U+2AD2
⫒ is a mathematical symbol used in set and logic notation. It expresses a “closed superset or equal to” relationship. Copy it directly or use the provided code escapes in your documents and code.
Closed Superset Or Equal To Symbol Meaning
⫒ (Unicode U+2AD2) is pronounced as “closed superset or equal to.” In set-based statements, it indicates that one set is a superset of another, allowing equality. In other words, the left-hand set contains everything in the right-hand set, and they may be the same set. This is especially useful when writing formal logic, discrete mathematics, or typeset definitions where you want to distinguish between a strict superset and one that also permits equality. Because it’s a Unicode math symbol, it’s commonly used in plain text, word processors, and web content that supports Unicode and math fonts.
Common uses
- •Defining set inclusion constraints where equality is allowed
- •Writing formal logic or proof statements about subsets/supersets
- •Annotating math diagrams and cheat sheets for set relations
- •Creating labeled conditions in programming documentation and specs
- •Typesetting homework or lecture notes in supported Unicode math
