Electrical intersection

⏧ is a technical sign named “electrical intersection,” referring to a crossing in an electrical diagram. Unicode 16.0 describes its block as containing scattered electrical signs rather than a complete set for circuit diagrams, so the drawing’s legend or standard gives this mark its exact role.

What ⏧ means

⏧ is the electrical intersection. Unicode classifies it as an “other symbol” — Unicode's shelf for signs that are neither maths, money nor punctuation and files it in the Miscellaneous Technical block; this site shelves it under Maths.

Its appearance depends on the font and text styling.

How it is encoded

⏧ is a single code point, U+23E7. In HTML that is ⏧, and in CSS \23E7.

Questions people ask

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.
