Logical Or With Horizontal Dash Symbol
⩝ is a logical OR symbol shown with a horizontal dash.
U+2A5D
⩝ (U+2A5D) is a math/logical operator symbol. It visually represents a logical OR relation while adding a horizontal dash mark. Use it in equations, logic notes, or UI text where you need an explicit OR operator.
Logical Or With Horizontal Dash Symbol Meaning
⩝ is the Unicode character named “LOGICAL OR WITH HORIZONTAL DASH” (U+2A5D). It is used to indicate a logical OR in contexts where authors want a distinct OR operator styling (including a horizontal dash). In practice, it behaves as an OR symbol in written logic and mathematical expressions—often appearing alongside other logic symbols (such as AND, XOR, or NOT) to clarify how conditions combine. Because symbol fonts and rendering vary, the most reliable way to share it is by copy/paste or using its code point (U+2A5D) or HTML/CSS/JavaScript escapes.
Common uses
- •Indicating logical OR in math and logic notes
- •Labeling conditions in technical documentation and specs
- •Writing truth-table headers or operator lists in teaching materials
- •Annotating boolean logic in diagrams or UI helper text
- •Marking alternatives in formal problem statements or proofs
