Apl Functional Symbol Up Caret Tilde Symbol Meaning
⍲ (Unicode U+2372, HTML entity ⍲) is categorized as a “Technical & Computer” symbol and is specifically named “APL FUNCTIONAL SYMBOL UP CARET TILDE.” In practice, it functions as an APL operator/symbol used within APL code or APL-inspired notation. Because its meaning is tied to APL syntax, it’s most useful when you are writing, documenting, or formatting APL expressions rather than as a general-purpose symbol. If you’re building documentation, equation text, or interface labels that must match APL source code, using the exact character prevents symbol mismatches across fonts and platforms.
