Turned Not Sign Symbol Meaning
⌙ is the Unicode character named TURNED NOT SIGN (U+2319). It visually resembles a “not” or negation mark that is turned/rotated compared with more familiar “not” symbols. In practice, it’s used as a typographic indicator for negation, exclusion, or “not applicable” in technical notes, UI labels, documentation, and specification text. Because it’s a dedicated Unicode character (not a punctuation workaround), it tends to be preferred when consistency and correct font rendering matter. When used in text, pair it with the surrounding wording (e.g., “not enabled” or “not available”) so the meaning remains clear to readers.
