For All Symbol

“∀” means “for all” and is commonly used to express universal statements in math and logic.

U+2200

The symbol “∀” (Unicode U+2200) is read as “for all.” It’s widely used in logic and mathematics to indicate a statement holds universally. You can copy it as-is or use its HTML/CSS/JavaScript escapes.

For All Symbol Meaning

The “∀” symbol, pronounced “for all,” is the universal quantifier in formal logic. It indicates that a statement applies to every element in a particular domain. For example, you might see it used to express that a property holds for all numbers, for all points in a set, or for all values within a defined range. In writing and documentation, “∀” can also appear in math education, proofs, and technical specifications. Because it’s a dedicated Unicode character, it works well for consistent rendering across fonts and platforms that support it.

Common uses

  • Writing formal logic statements like “for all x, …” in notes or documentation
  • Expressing universal rules in math problem solutions and proofs
  • Labeling or annotating constraints in formal specifications (e.g., “for all inputs …”)
  • Creating math or logic diagram text in slides, posters, and textbooks
  • Using as a typographic symbol in developer-facing documentation for specifications
