Superset Above Superset Symbol
⫖ is the “superset above superset” math symbol used to denote a stronger/stacked superset relation.
U+2AD6
⫖ (Unicode U+2AD6) is a mathematical symbol named “superset above superset.” It’s commonly used when you want a superset relation expressed in a stacked or emphasized form. This page helps you copy it and use it correctly in text and code.
Superset Above Superset Symbol Meaning
The character ⫖ is Unicode name “SUPERSET ABOVE SUPERSET.” Conceptually, it represents a superset-style relationship rendered in an “above/stacked” layout. In practice, it’s used in mathematical writing and notation when the author wants a superset relation that appears stronger or more explicitly layered than a plain “superset” symbol. Like other specialized math symbols, it works best in contexts that support Unicode math glyphs (for example, modern browsers, math-capable fonts, and systems that preserve Unicode characters). When publishing or coding, prefer copying the character or using the provided escapes to avoid font or encoding issues.
Common uses
- •Writing set-relationship notation in math documents
- •Annotating diagrams or proofs that need a stacked superset symbol
- •Labeling variables or constraints in technical writing
- •Formatting content for blogs, notes, or slide decks with Unicode math
- •Using the symbol in code or UI text where Unicode characters are supported
Examples
⫖ Superset Above Superset Symbol
- ⫖Let A ⫖ B describe a stacked superset relation.
- ⫖We write S ⫖ T to indicate the stronger containment form.
- ⫖If X ⫖ Y holds, then every element of Y is also in X.
- ⫖The constraint is displayed as ⫖ in the model specification.
- ⫖In the proof, ⫖ appears above the corresponding superset symbol.
