Oblique Angle Opening Up Symbol Meaning
⦦ is the Unicode character “OBLIQUE ANGLE OPENING UP” (U+29A6). Like other angle and bracket-like symbols, it’s typically used in mathematical or technical contexts to denote an angle or to form a visual structure in notation. The “opening up” styling distinguishes it from similar angle glyphs, so it’s often chosen when you want a specific bracket/angle appearance rather than a generic less-than sign or a standard bracket. Because it is a math-category symbol, you’ll most commonly see it in formulas, typesetting, and technical documents where consistent glyph shapes matter.
Common uses
- •Math notation for angle-related expressions where a distinct “opening up” glyph is preferred
- •Typesetting documents to match a specific angle/bracket style across a formula
- •Writing technical notes or proofs that reference specialized angle symbols
- •Designing educational materials and worksheets that require consistent math glyphs
- •Creating symbolic labels in diagrams or UI annotations for angle measures
