Graphical representation of the Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-B Unicode block

Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-B is a Unicode block containing miscellaneous mathematical symbols, including brackets, angles, and circle symbols.

Block

Template:Unicode chart Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-B

Variant

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 ⦷ to request a glyph where the parallel lines touch the circle.[3]

Usage

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
