U+22CB
The symbol ⋋ (U+22CB) is called the Left Semidirect Product. It’s primarily used in mathematics to denote a specific form of semidirect product. Use the copy options below to paste it into documents, web content, or code.
Left Semidirect Product Symbol Meaning
The symbol ⋋, named “LEFT SEMIDIRECT PRODUCT” (Unicode U+22CB), is used in mathematical notation to represent a semidirect product where the action is understood in the left sense. In algebra, semidirect products combine two algebraic structures while encoding how one structure acts on the other. Depending on the surrounding context, authors may specify which factor acts and how; the symbol’s placement and notation conventions help communicate that structure clearly. When writing or typesetting formulas, ⋋ is best used as a dedicated operator symbol rather than as a custom character, so that it aligns with math formatting and readability.
Common uses
- •Denoting a left semidirect product in algebra or group theory notes
- •Writing math expressions in homework, lectures, and study materials
- •Creating typed formulas in LaTeX/MathML or rich-text editors
- •Labeling terms in proofs or explanations where action direction matters
- •Sharing correct notation in posts, comments, or documentation for math work
