Variant

[edit]

The Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-B block has one variation sequence defined for a standardized variant. Variation selector-1 (VS1) (U+FE00) can be used with U+29B7 CIRCLED PARALLEL to request a glyph where the parallel lines touch the circle.[3]

Usage

[edit]

Some of these symbols are used in Z notation. Specifically

  • U+2981 Z NOTATION SPOT
  • U+2982 Z NOTATION TYPE COLON
  • U+2987 Z NOTATION LEFT IMAGE BRACKET
  • U+2988 Z NOTATION RIGHT IMAGE BRACKET
  • U+2989 Z NOTATION LEFT BINDING BRACKET
  • U+298A Z NOTATION RIGHT BINDING BRACKET

The last two symbols are used in combinatorial game theory

  • U+29FE TINY
  • U+29FF ⧿ MINY
