Radical Symbol Bottom Symbol
⎷ is the radical symbol bottom (U+23B7), used to build radical expressions in text.
U+23B7
The symbol ⎷ is called the radical symbol bottom. It’s part of Unicode’s technical character set and is often used with other radical characters to format square-root style notation. You can copy it directly or use the provided codepoint escapes in your projects.
Radical Symbol Bottom Symbol Meaning
⎷ (Unicode name: RADICAL SYMBOL BOTTOM, U+23B7) represents the bottom portion of a radical sign, commonly used in “square root”-like notation. In many writing and typesetting contexts, the radical symbol is constructed from separate pieces: a top/overline portion and a bottom hook (like this character). When you’re composing equations in plain text, you may use it alongside a matching radical or overline symbol to approximate √ formatting. In technical documents, UI text, and lightweight math displays, this character helps create clearer visual structure than a generic text approximation, while still being a single Unicode character.
Common uses
- •Composing lightweight math in chat or documentation using text-based radical styling
- •Building custom equation UI where the radical sign is assembled from separate glyph parts
- •Designing typographic symbols in posters, slides, or templates that need a root-like mark
- •Annotating steps in math explanations where a partial radical marker improves readability
- •Creating consistent symbol styling for developer notes and technical writing
