Triple Vertical Bar Delimiter Symbol Meaning
⦀ (U+2980) is a punctuation-like math delimiter: a “triple vertical bar” used to separate or frame parts of an expression. In typography, it can function like a stronger visual boundary than a single vertical bar. Depending on the surrounding notation, it may be read as a delimiter that indicates “this is where one part ends and another begins,” such as within structured expressions, set-like descriptions, or formatted text. Because it’s a Unicode character in the Math category, it’s most often encountered in mathematical typesetting and math-focused content, but it can also be used to stylize section boundaries in plain text.
Common uses
- •As a delimiter to separate clauses in math-like plain text
- •Marking boundaries in structured expressions or pseudo-notation
- •Styling section separators in educational materials
- •Creating consistent visual framing in technical writing
