U+22B9
The symbol ⊹ is named “Hermitian Conjugate Matrix” and is used in mathematical contexts. It helps express relationships involving complex conjugation and transpose. You can copy ⊹ directly or use its codepoint for web and programming work.
Hermitian Conjugate Matrix Symbol Meaning
⊹ (Unicode U+22B9) is labeled “HERMITIAN CONJUGATE MATRIX.” In mathematical writing, it’s commonly used to denote a Hermitian conjugate (also referred to as an adjoint) operation on a matrix. This is the transformation that combines complex conjugation with a transpose, and it frequently appears in linear algebra and related fields when expressing properties of operators. When you include ⊹ in formulas, it signals that the matrix on one side of an equation is related to the other side through the Hermitian conjugate. Use it to keep notation consistent across papers, slides, and code-rendered math.
Common uses
- •Labeling the adjoint of an operator or matrix in linear algebra notes
- •Writing equations that relate A and A† (Hermitian conjugate) in complex systems
- •Annotating tutorial or lecture slides where conjugate-transpose is defined
- •Documenting functions or variables in scientific writing (e.g., defining H = B⊹)
- •Formatting math in technical content for websites and documentation
