Hysteresis Symbol
⎎ is the Hysteresis Symbol, used in technical contexts to represent hysteresis behavior.
U+238E
The character ⎎ is named the Hysteresis Symbol (Unicode U+238E). It’s primarily a technical glyph used in computer and engineering contexts. This page helps you copy it reliably and use it in labels, diagrams, and UI text.
Hysteresis Symbol Symbol Meaning
The Hysteresis Symbol (⎎, U+238E) is a technical character associated with “hysteresis,” a behavior where the output depends on both the current input and the system’s past state. You’ll commonly see it in engineering notes and documentation describing control systems, sensors, switching thresholds, and similar topics where different values are used for turning on versus turning off. In most everyday settings, it doesn’t carry a widely recognized cultural or decorative meaning; its value is mainly as a compact, standards-based notation for technical writing and diagram labeling.
Common uses
- •Labeling hysteresis or threshold-difference behavior in engineering documentation
- •Annotating diagrams for control systems, sensors, and signal processing graphs
- •Marking UI or dashboard indicators related to set/reset thresholds
- •Writing technical notes, comments, or specs in software and hardware repositories
- •Enhancing readability in reports where “hysteresis” needs a clear symbol
Examples
⎎ Hysteresis Symbol (U+238E)
- ⎎Use ⎎ to denote hysteresis in the control loop.
- ⎎The sensor exhibits ⎎ between rising and falling thresholds.
- ⎎When the input decreases, the reset point remains offset (⎎).
- ⎎Refer to Fig. 2: switching with ⎎ behavior.
- ⎎Add a ⎎ note near the set/reset levels.
