The ≬ symbol, officially named "Between" in the Unicode standard, is a mathematical operator used primarily in logic and relational algebra. It visually represents a relationship where a specific element or value exists strictly between two others. While rarely seen in casual text, this distinctive back-to-back curve glyph serves as a precise shorthand in advanced mathematical formulas.

In Programming

In computer science and mathematical notation, it can represent a logical "between" operation. However, most modern programming languages and databases rely on explicit inequalities (like a < x < b) or text-based keywords (like SQL's BETWEEN) instead of parsing the raw Unicode character.
