Does Not Contain as Normal Subgroup or Equal

238/256

⋭ says the group on the left neither contains the one on the right as a normal subgroup nor equals it. It appears in group-theory formulas.

Text symbol

What ⋭ means

H is not a normal subgroup of G, and G H.

G and H stand for groups. A subgroup is a smaller group inside a larger one; it is normal when left and right multiplication by the same larger-group element produce the same set. Swapping G and H changes the claim.

Why does ⋭ show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
