Open Subset Symbol
⟃ denotes an open subset in mathematics, often used in topology and related fields.
U+27C3
The symbol ⟃ is commonly read as “open subset.” It appears in mathematical writing where sets are classified by openness. You can copy it directly or insert it using its Unicode code point.
Open Subset Symbol Meaning
⟃ (Unicode U+27C3) is the “OPEN SUBSET” symbol. In mathematics, it’s typically used to indicate that a set is an open subset of a topological space. This notation helps express properties that depend on the topology, such as statements involving open sets, neighborhoods, and continuity. Depending on the context, you may see it paired with a specific set name, for example “⟃A” meaning “A is open.” When writing or typesetting, using the correct Unicode character ensures consistent appearance across modern fonts and tools.
Common uses
- •Labeling a set as open in topology notes or proofs
- •Annotating diagrams or definitions with “open subset” markers
- •Writing educational content about topological spaces
- •Indicating openness of a subset in formal problem statements
- •Adding clear set-property notation in technical documents
