Subset Above Subset Symbol
⫕ is the “subset above subset” mathematical relation symbol (U+2AD5).
U+2AD5
⫕ is a Unicode math symbol (U+2AD5) used in mathematical notation. It represents a specific “subset above subset” relationship or operator styling used in formal displays. This page helps you copy the character reliably and use the correct escape codes in software.
Subset Above Subset Symbol Meaning
⫕ is the Unicode character named “SUBSET ABOVE SUBSET” (U+2AD5). As a math symbol, it is typically used to indicate a specialized subset relation or an operator-like notation where one subset is presented above another. In practice, its exact interpretation can depend on the context of the surrounding formula and the font/math typesetting system being used. If you are writing or typesetting mathematical text, you may choose ⫕ when you need this exact Unicode glyph rather than a more common subset symbol. When compatibility matters, ensure your chosen font supports U+2AD5.
Common uses
- •Including a specific subset-relation glyph in math text or annotations
- •Writing or formatting set-theory statements in documents that use Unicode math symbols
- •Designing typography or icon sets for math-related layouts
- •Labeling equations in notes, worksheets, or academic drafts
- •Using a consistent Unicode character in plain-text sources (so math stays copyable)
Examples
⫕ Subset Above Subset
- ⫕Check whether A ⫕ B holds in your definition.
- ⫕Let X ⫕ Y denote the subset-above-subset relation.
- ⫕In this theorem, the condition is written as S ⫕ T.
- ⫕Our table lists relations including ⫕ among set pairs.
- ⫕Use ⫕ where your notation specifies subset-above-subset.
