Nor Symbol
The ⊽ symbol represents NOR and is used to denote negated logical operations.
U+22BD
⊽ is the NOR symbol, corresponding to Unicode code point U+22BD. It’s commonly seen in contexts that discuss logic, boolean operations, or related mathematical notation.
Nor Symbol Meaning
The symbol ⊽ is named “NOR” in Unicode (U+22BD). In logic and boolean notation, NOR is typically used to express an operation that combines an OR with a negation. In other words, the result is true only when the corresponding OR expression would be false (i.e., when both inputs are false). Because NOR is a standard logical operator, ⊽ may also appear in diagrams, specifications, and educational materials that describe digital circuits, conditions, or truth-table reasoning. When you copy it into text or code, ensure the font you’re using supports the character to display it correctly.
Common uses
- •Labeling NOR gates in digital logic diagrams
- •Writing boolean expressions in documentation and technical notes
- •Annotating truth tables where the operation is “OR then NOT”
- •Designing math or logic worksheets and teaching materials
- •Using the symbol in UI text for logic-based toggles or filters
Examples
⊽ NOR Symbol (U+22BD)
- ⊽“The output of the NOR gate is ⊽(A, B).”
- ⊽“Compute ⊽(X, Y) for each row of the truth table.”
- ⊽“In this circuit, ⊽ indicates OR followed by negation.”
- ⊽“The condition is true when neither X nor Y is true: ⊽.”
- ⊽“Label the final stage as NOR: ⊽.”

FAQ
What does the ⊽ symbol mean?
In Unicode, ⊽ is the “NOR” symbol. It’s used to denote a NOR operation, commonly understood as OR followed by negation.
What is the Unicode code point for ⊽?
The Unicode code point is U+22BD.
How can I type or copy ⊽?
You can copy the character directly (⊽). For programming inputs, you can use the escapes: HTML ⊽, CSS \\22BD, or JavaScript \\u{22BD}.
Will ⊽ always display correctly on my device?
Display depends on font support. If the symbol doesn’t appear, try a different Unicode-compatible font.
