Curly logical OR (⋎) is the Unicode character at U+22CE in the Mathematical Operators block. It is also called curly vee — a spacing logic / lattice operator, not the everyday Boolean OR (∨).

Curly OR using HTML Code: ⋎
Curly OR using CSS Entity: ⋎
Typed directly: ⋎
How It Works
1. Named:⋎ (alias ⋎) is the HTML named reference for U+22CE → ⋎.
2. Hex:U+22CE → ⋎ in HTML. Same glyph as the named form.
3. Decimal: same code point as 8910 → ⋎. Same result as hex.
4. CSS: use \22CE in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⋎ after the paragraph text.
5. Typed: in a UTF-8 page you can paste ⋎ directly. All five lines show the same glyph.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Curly Logical OR.
Named
Prefer ⋎
⋎ and ⋎ both map to U+22CE. Do not use ∨ — that is ordinary logical OR.
∨
Not ordinary OR
∨ (∨ / ∨) is the common vee OR. ⋎ is the curly form.
⋏
Not curly AND
⋏ (⋏) is curly logical AND. Use it for the dual operator, not as OR.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\22CE belongs in CSS. ⋎ / ⋎ / ⋎ belong in HTML.
Fonts
Math font coverage
Some fonts omit U+22CE. Prefer a font with Mathematical Operators coverage for display.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ⋎ and ⋎, not bare forms.
Compatibility
Browser Support
Curly logical OR (U+22CE) and its entity forms (⋎, ⋎, ⋎, CSS \\22CE) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Visible glyphs depend on font coverage.
✓ Universal support
Curly Logical OR (⋎)
Encode with named, hex, decimal, CSS escape, or type the character — same glyph everywhere encoding is supported.

Bottom line: Prefer ⋎ or typed ⋎ in HTML. Use \\22CE only inside CSS content. Do not confuse with ∨ (U+2228).
Remember
Key Takeaways
Unicode: curly logical OR is U+22CE (decimal 8910) — glyph ⋎.
HTML: use ⋎, ⋎, ⋎, or type ⋎.
CSS: use \22CE inside content for generated text.
Watch out:⋎ ≠ ∨ ≠ ⋏ (curly OR ≠ OR ≠ curly AND).
One line:U+22CE → ⋎ / ⋎ / CSS \22CE / type ⋎.
Frequently Asked Questions
Use ⋎ (hex), ⋎ (decimal), ⋎ or ⋎ (named), or the CSS escape \22CE in content. You can also paste ⋎ directly in UTF-8.
U+22CE (hex 22CE, decimal 8910). It belongs to the Mathematical Operators block and is also called curly vee.
Yes. ⋎ and ⋎ are the HTML named references. Numeric forms ⋎ and ⋎ also work.
Use it in logic, lattice theory, or math docs that need the curly-vee OR operator. For ordinary Boolean OR, prefer ∨ (U+2228 / ∨).
HTML entities (⋎, ⋎, or ⋎) go in markup. The CSS escape \22CE goes in stylesheet strings (usually content on ::before/::after).
⋎ (U+22CE / ⋎) is curly logical OR. ∨ (U+2228 / ∨) is the common logical OR (vee). ⋏ (U+22CF / ⋏) is curly logical AND — the dual operator.
🤔
Did you know?
Curly logical OR (curly vee) is Unicode U+22CE (decimal 8910) — glyph ⋎ in the Mathematical Operators block. HTML named references include ⋎ and ⋎. It is a spacing logic / lattice operator. It is not logical OR ∨ (U+2228 / ∨) and not curly logical AND ⋏ (U+22CF / ⋏).
