Apl Functional Symbol Rightwards Vane Symbol Meaning
⍆ is an APL functional symbol identified as “RIGHTWARDS VANE” (Unicode U+2346). In practice, it’s most relevant when writing or referencing APL expressions, examples, or documentation that uses APL’s specialized character glyphs. Because it belongs to the APL technical block, you’ll primarily see it in contexts where APL syntax is represented accurately, such as programming tutorials, language reference pages, and tooling that renders Unicode symbols. If you’re formatting APL content in plain text, make sure your font and rendering support U+2346 so the vane glyph displays correctly.
