The ≀ (wreath product) symbol is a mathematical operator that resembles a vertical tilde or a wavy line. In abstract algebra, mathematicians use it specifically to denote the wreath product of two groups. While primarily found in academic papers and technical documentation, internet users occasionally repurpose it as a quirky, decorative separator in social media bios or aesthetic typography.
