Notes
1.^ As of Unicode version 15.1


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
