Apl Functional Symbol Quad Greater-than Symbol Meaning
⍄ is the “APL FUNCTIONAL SYMBOL QUAD GREATER-THAN” (Unicode U+2344). In APL contexts, “functional symbols” are typically used as operators or function-like tokens that affect how expressions are evaluated. The exact behavior depends on the APL environment and the surrounding expression, as with other APL symbols. Because this character is niche and not widely supported in every font or editor, developers often prefer copying via Unicode, HTML entity, or escape sequences to ensure the correct glyph is used consistently across systems.
Common uses
- •Copying an exact APL character into documentation or tutorials
- •Referencing Unicode U+2344 in developer comments or specs
- •Using the symbol in APL code snippets shared in chat or blogs
- •Designing UI or syntax-highlighting rules for APL text editors
- •Creating consistent typography for technical posts using Unicode escapes

What Unicode character is ⍄?
⍄ is Unicode U+2344, named “APL FUNCTIONAL SYMBOL QUAD GREATER-THAN”.
How can I copy ⍄ reliably in code or documents?
Use Unicode escapes like \\u{2344} or the HTML entity format. For this character, the provided CSS escape is \\2344.
Does ⍄ have the same meaning in every program?
Its behavior is defined in APL contexts. Outside APL, it may be treated as a standalone character with no functional evaluation.
Why might ⍄ not display correctly on my device?
