History & usage: CIRCLED ANTICLOCKWISE-ROTATED DIVISION SIGN is a symbol in the set of Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-B. Its code point is U+29BC. It belongs to the Common script. This symbol appears in certain math notations and user interfaces where it represents a division or a related operation in a visual circle. In practice, it helps to set apart the operation from other symbols and to clarify grouping in formulas. It can also serve as a marker in diagrams or tables that show steps in a calculation. The circled form makes the operation stand out and reduces confusion with other division signs. It is used alongside more common operators in specialized math texts and software. As a design choice, the circle around the rotated divider draws attention to the action it represents, rather than to the symbol itself. When reading formulas, users may encounter this symbol in contexts that need a clear, distinct operation indicator. In summary, it signals division or a related operation and is chosen for clarity in math notation and interfaces.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+29BC in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.

Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
