Superset Beside And Joined By Dash With Subset Symbol Meaning
⫘ (U+2AD8) is a mathematical operator/relational symbol named “superset beside and joined by dash with subset.” Visually, it presents a superset relation and a subset relation together, positioned side-by-side and connected by a dash. In practice, it’s used to typeset statements where you want to emphasize a paired relationship between a larger set and a smaller set, shown in one combined glyph. Because it’s a Unicode character (not plain ASCII), it’s best to copy the symbol directly or use the Unicode escape in programming environments that support it.
Common uses
- •Composing math text for documents that describe paired set relations in one glyph
- •Labeling diagrams or notation blocks where a superset and subset are presented together
- •Writing educational material that demonstrates set containment relationships side-by-side
- •Creating consistent typography in web or app math displays using Unicode characters
- •Annotating specifications or comments in codebases that reference set operators
