Will ⋴ survive being pasted?
- Normalisation. Yes. ⋴ is unchanged by NFKC, so it survives normalising systems intact.
- Legacy encodings. ⋴ is Unicode-only — it has no Latin-1 equivalent, so a system stuck on an 8-bit encoding cannot represent it.
- Size. 3 bytes in UTF-8. Character-limited fields — SMS, bios, some form validators — usually count bytes, not characters.
Other stroke characters
Unicode names 24 characters ending in “stroke”. They differ by direction, weight or decoration rather than by meaning.
Nearby in Mathematical Operators
The operators mathematics and programming share — set theory, logic, calculus, comparison. Almost every character here has a LaTeX command, which is usually the fastest way to name the one you mean.
