U+2A1D
⨝ is the Unicode “JOIN” symbol. It’s commonly used to indicate that two sets, tables, or components are joined together. Use it in math, diagrams, and documentation to show a combined relationship.
Join Symbol Meaning
The ⨝ symbol, named “JOIN” (Unicode code point U+2A1D), is used to express a joining operation between two entities. In mathematics and related notation, it can indicate that two sets or expressions are combined through a join-like process. In computing contexts—especially when discussing database operations—the symbol is often associated with join operations that combine rows from two tables based on a relationship. Visually, it suggests an intersection or linkage, making it useful for diagrams, labels, and instructional text where “join” is clearer than a word.
Common uses
- •Labeling database join operations in documentation or tutorials
- •Annotating set-combination steps in math notes or worksheets
- •Marking merged datasets in spreadsheets and data workflow diagrams
- •Indicating linked components in technical diagrams and UI mockups
- •Writing concise “A ⨝ B” expressions in technical articles
