History & usage: The symbol SQUARED LOGICAL OR depicts the official name SQUARED LOGICAL OR. The tokens in the name include a QUALIFIER token SQUARED, plus functional tokens LOGICAL and OR. In general terms, qualifiers signal a distinct form or operation, while functional tokens indicate the role of the symbol in an expression or decision process. The squared form flags a boxed or elevated presentation, and the logical operator tokens point to how the symbol combines with others in a sequence of alternatives or conditions. Use contexts include mathematical texts, where it appears in formulas and proofs within the Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-A block; educational primers that teach how to read and compare logical operators; and archival transcription or paleography projects that document historical notations and typographic revivals that reproduce specimen forms. If extended history were present, it would be framed as a historical variant. In practice, researchers and students use it in quick UI scenarios for operations or comparisons, such as calculators or formulas, to clarify structure and precedence.
