⨣ (U+2A23) is a standard Unicode character that you can copy and paste anywhere text is accepted. This page provides a concise reference with safe tips, internal links, and practical guidance so you can use it reliably across apps and platforms.
What it is and where it’s used: Plus Sign with Circumflex Accent Above is part of the Symbols family (block: Supplemental Mathematical Operators). If you need styled or decorative alternatives, try our Fancy Text tool to generate compatible text that works in most modern interfaces.
History & usage: The character is the PLUS SIGN WITH CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT ABOVE (U+2A23), in the Supplemental Mathematical Operators block and the Common script. In usage, common math symbols indicate operations or comparisons in formulas and user interfaces. This symbol adds a specialized notation beyond the standard plus, used in certain formulas or tools to convey a distinct operation or relation. It appears in environments that support extended math notation or advanced logic. The symbol helps distinguish a particular operation in a formula, aiding clarity for readers and software. You may encounter it in math editors, programming contexts, or documentation that uses extended operators. Because it is part of a standard block, the symbol has defined semantics in places that support mathematical operators. In practice, you will see it where a higher level of notation is needed for precision. The history of such symbols shows how math notation evolves to cover more ideas and tools. This evolution supports clearer communication for readers and for software that processes math text.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2A23 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.

Compatibility & troubleshooting
Font support: if the symbol does not render, the current font likely lacks this codepoint. Choose a font with broad Unicode coverage or allow a fallback font.
Web pages: ensure your CSS font stack includes a general fallback; avoid relying on images for common symbols to preserve accessibility and copyability.
