Subset With Dot Symbol
⪽ is the Subset with Dot symbol, used to indicate a dotted subset relation in math notation.
U+2ABD
The symbol ⪽ is called “Subset with Dot” (Unicode U+2ABD). It’s a math character you can copy into documents, design mockups, or code.
Subset With Dot Symbol Meaning
The “Subset with Dot” symbol (⪽, U+2ABD) is a Unicode math character used to express a subset relationship with an added dot marker. In practice, it appears in mathematical writing where a writer wants to distinguish a particular subset condition from a plain subset symbol. Because it’s in the Math category, you’ll mostly see it in formulas, notes, and typeset text where mathematical semantics matter. When using it in HTML, CSS, or JavaScript, rely on the provided code point (U+2ABD) to ensure consistent rendering, assuming the active font supports the character.
Common uses
- •Writing math notes that require a dotted subset relation
- •Labeling sets and relations in educational materials
- •Annotating proofs or definitions in technical documents
- •Building formula text in web pages and design mockups
- •Using the symbol in presentations that include set theory
Examples
⪽ Subset with Dot (U+2ABD)
- ⪽A ⪽ B, where A is a dotted subset of B.
- ⪽Let S ⪽ T denote the marked subset relationship.
- ⪽We write X ⪽ Y to distinguish the special condition.
- ⪽The condition requires U ⪽ V in our construction.
- ⪽In the definition, ⪽ indicates the dotted subset.
