Mathematical Left Double Angle Bracket Symbol
⟪ is the mathematical left double angle bracket used for specialized bracket-like notation.
U+27EA
The symbol ⟪ is the MATHEMATICAL LEFT DOUBLE ANGLE BRACKET (U+27EA). It’s commonly used in technical writing and mathematical expressions where “double angle” notation is needed. This page helps you copy it reliably and understand typical usage patterns.
Mathematical Left Double Angle Bracket Symbol Meaning
⟪ (MATHEMATICAL LEFT DOUBLE ANGLE BRACKET, U+27EA) is a bracket symbol shaped like a left-pointing “double angle” delimiter. It’s primarily used in mathematics and formal notation to mark structured text, ranges, or special operators that have matching right-side counterparts (typically ⟫). In typography and plain-text contexts, it can also be used to visually set off content with a more technical or formal feel than standard < and >. Because different fonts may render angle brackets slightly differently, it’s helpful to copy the exact character from here when you need consistent results.
Common uses
- •Mathematical notation for delimiters that require double-angle brackets
- •Formal writing to visually bracket a concept or parameter with a left-only delimiter
- •Technical documentation where angle-bracket pairs denote structured expressions
- •UI/UX labeling for tokens, commands, or template placeholders in developer tools
- •Typesetting content in math-heavy editors and markup systems that support Unicode symbols
Examples
