HTML Entity for Curly Logical AND (⋏)
What You'll Learn
How to display the Curly Logical AND symbol (⋏) in HTML using the named entity, numeric references, and CSS escapes. This character is U+22CF (CURLY LOGICAL AND) in the Mathematical Operators block (U+2200–U+22FF). It denotes logical conjunction in formal logic, mathematics, and computer science—for example, A ⋏ B.
You can use the named entity ⋏, hex ⋏, decimal ⋏, or CSS \22CF. ⋏ is the most readable option when writing HTML by hand. Do not confuse ⋏ with Logical AND U+2227 (∧, ∧) or Curly Logical OR U+22CE (⋎).

<head>
<style>
#point:after{
content: "\22CF";
}

🧠 How It Works
Hexadecimal Code
⋏ references code point U+22CF using hex digits 22CF.
Decimal HTML Code
⋏ is the decimal equivalent (8911) for the same character.
Named HTML Entity
⋏ is the standard named entity for U+22CF—“curly wedge” (cuwed) for the logical AND symbol.
CSS Entity
\22CF is the CSS escape for U+22CF, used in the content property of ::before or ::after.
Same visual result
All four methods produce the curly logical AND glyph: ⋏. Unicode U+22CF is in Mathematical Operators (U+2200–U+22FF).
Use Cases
The Curly Logical AND (⋏) commonly appears in:
Formal logic expressions, Boolean algebra, and notation (e.g. A ⋏ B).
Linguistics, philosophy, and semantics where conjunction uses ⋏.
Technical docs and tutorials on logical operators and predicate logic.
Order theory and lattices where ⋏ denotes meet (infimum).
Research papers, theses, and textbooks with standard logic symbols.
Unicode tables and logic symbol documentation.
Provide context (e.g. “A and B”) so screen readers convey logical meaning.
💡 Best Practices
Do
- Prefer
⋏for readable HTML in logic and math content - Use math-oriented fonts (Cambria Math, STIX Two Math) for clearer glyphs
- Keep entity style consistent within a document
- Use
\22CFonly inside CSScontent, not in HTML text nodes - Pair ⋏ with operands (e.g. A ⋏ B) for clear meaning
Don’t
- Confuse U+22CF (⋏) with Logical AND U+2227 (∧) or Curly Logical OR U+22CE (⋎)
- Use ⋏ when you mean programming
&&in prose without context - Assume
⋏is the same as∧—they are different code points - Put CSS escape
\22CFin HTML text nodes - Mix entity styles randomly in one file
Key Takeaways
Named entity is the easiest option

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
⋏ (named entity), ⋏ (hex), ⋏ (decimal), or \22CF in CSS content. All produce ⋏.U+22CF (Curly Logical AND). Mathematical Operators (U+2200–U+22FF). Hex 22CF, decimal 8911.⋏, ⋏, or ⋏) go directly in markup. The CSS escape \22CF is used in stylesheets, typically in the content property of pseudo-elements.&& or the word “and.” Logical AND is U+2227 (∧, ∧). Use ⋏ when you need the mathematical ⋏ glyph in HTML.Explore More HTML Entities!
