Curly Logical And Symbol
⋏ is the “curly logical and” operator used to express a logical AND in mathematical or formal notation.
U+22CF
⋏ (Unicode U+22CF) is known as the Curly Logical And symbol. It’s commonly used in math and logic writing when you want an explicit AND operator with a curly form. Use it directly, or copy the provided escape forms in code.
Curly Logical And Symbol Meaning
⋏ is the Unicode “CURLY LOGICAL AND” operator (U+22CF). It’s primarily used in mathematical and logical expressions to represent a logical AND, similar in purpose to the boolean operator “and” or the intersection-like conjunction used in formal notation. The curly styling helps it read as an operator in symbolic text, especially where typography matters (for example, in LaTeX-like systems, logic notes, or typeset equations). In plain text, it can be used as a visually clear stand-in for AND when communicating with others who recognize the symbol.
Common uses
- •Writing boolean logic statements in documents or notes
- •Creating math/logic study sheets and cheat sheets
- •Labeling conditions in technical diagrams or specifications
- •Adding a formal AND operator to typographic mathematical text
- •Composing social or blog posts that discuss logical operators visually

- ⋏If x > 0 ⋏ x < 1, then x is between 0 and 1.
- ⋏Condition 1 ⋏ Condition 2 must be satisfied.
- ⋏Let P ⋏ Q denote the combined requirement.
- ⋏In logic, (p ⋏ q) is true only when both are true.
