The ⊻ symbol, formally known as "Vee With Underbar" in Unicode, represents the logical "exclusive or" (XOR) operation in mathematics and computer science. It visually combines the standard logical OR symbol (∨) with an underline to indicate a strict choice meaning "one or the other, but not both." While primarily found in boolean algebra and technical documentation, you might occasionally spot it in advanced coding discussions or logic puzzles online.

In Programming
While most programming languages use the caret (^) for bitwise XOR operations, the ⊻ symbol is widely used in formal algorithm documentation, boolean logic proofs, and computer science papers to denote exclusive disjunction.
