⍮ is an APL functional symbol (U+236E) used in APL language code.
U+236E
⍮ is a technical APL character known as the semicolon underbar. It’s used in APL-style notation and may appear in programming text. Below you’ll find copy-friendly forms and practical ways to include it correctly.
Apl Functional Symbol Semicolon Underbar Symbol Meaning
⍮ is the Unicode character named “APL FUNCTIONAL SYMBOL SEMICOLON UNDERBAR” (U+236E). It belongs to the APL “technical” symbol block and is primarily meaningful in the context of APL code, where the APL standard and specific APL implementations define how functional symbols combine and what operations they represent. Because exact behavior can vary by APL variant and surrounding syntax, the safest approach is to treat ⍮ as a functional APL token and verify its role in the documentation for the specific APL environment you’re using.
Common uses
- •Copying APL code that includes the semicolon-underbar functional token
- •Typing/formatting APL examples in documentation or tutorials
- •Marking a specific APL operator or term in technical notes
- •Inserting the symbol into issue trackers or code comments for clarity
- •Using correct Unicode escapes when generating APL text in software
