\223E
The ∾ (Inverted Lazy S) symbol is a mathematical character that visually resembles a single cycle of a standard sine wave. Because of this distinct shape, it is frequently used in electronics and physics to represent alternating current (AC) on circuit diagrams and digital multimeters. In pure mathematics, it occasionally functions as a relational operator to denote specific equivalences or geometric proportions.
