\223E
The ∾ (Inverted Lazy S) symbol is a mathematical character shaped like a letter S laid on its side and reversed. Unicode groups it with the relational operators, where it serves as a rare, author-defined relation sign in specialized notation. It should not be confused with the sine wave sign (∿), which is the character used for alternating current (AC) on circuit diagrams and multimeters.
