Double Intersection Symbol
⋒ is the Double Intersection symbol (U+22D2), used to indicate two intersections or a combined overlap.
U+22D2
The symbol ⋒ is called the Double Intersection. It’s a Unicode math character (U+22D2) that can be copied into documents, designs, and code. Use it when you need a clear visual cue for intersecting relationships.
Double Intersection Symbol Meaning
⋒ (Unicode “DOUBLE INTERSECTION”, U+22D2) represents an intersection concept with a “double” or intensified joining of lines. In math-minded contexts, it can be used to suggest two intersection points, overlapping sets, or combined intersection operations—especially in diagrams and notation where a standard single intersection symbol isn’t specific enough. Outside strict mathematics, designers and writers sometimes use it as a compact visual marker for “overlap” or “crossing” in icons, flow diagrams, and UI text. Because it is a dedicated Unicode character, it’s typically preferred over approximate ASCII substitutes.
Common uses
- •Mathematical diagrams showing multiple intersection points or combined overlap
- •Set-notation labels in notes, worksheets, or educational slides
- •Diagram annotations for geometry or graph intersections
- •UI text or iconography to indicate overlapping categories or joined elements
- •Designing consistent mathematical/technical typography in documents
Examples
