\22BD
The ⊽ (NOR) symbol represents the logical "Not OR" operation in boolean algebra and formal logic. Visually formed by placing an overbar above the standard logical OR symbol (∨), it evaluates to true only when both of its operands are false. While primarily used in academic papers, truth tables, and electrical engineering schematics, this operator is a fundamental building block of modern digital computing.

In Programming

In computer science and digital electronics, NOR is a universal logic gate used to build any other boolean function. While typically written as a combination of operators in programming languages (such as `!(A || B)` in C-style syntax), the ⊽ symbol frequently appears in formal mathematical proofs and algorithm documentation.
