Double Vertical Bar Left Turnstile Symbol Meaning
⫣ is the Unicode character named “DOUBLE VERTICAL BAR LEFT TURNSTILE” (U+2AE3). In practice, it appears in mathematical or logic contexts where a turnstile-like relation is needed, often alongside other operators to express derivations, entailment, or structured statements. The double vertical bars suggest a variant or stronger/paired form compared to simpler turnstile symbols. Because it has a dedicated Unicode code point, it’s a good choice when you want consistency across fonts, documents, and code—especially in typesetting systems that support Unicode math symbols.
