triple vertical bar with horizontal stroke

Triple vertical bar with horizontal stroke

⫵ is a mathematical operator, but its name does not tell you which operation it performs. Read it according to the notation used in the formula.

Text symbol

What ⫵ means

The formula's notation defines the operation.

MathML 3.0 classifies ⫵ as an infix operator, so it sits between expressions. The standard gives its position, not the operation; follow the formula's own notation.

Questions people ask

Why does ⫵ show as a box on some devices?

Not every system ships a font for the Supplemental Mathematical Operators block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
