What it is and where it’s used: Subset with Multiplication Sign Below 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 SUBSET WITH MULTIPLICATION SIGN BELOW symbol has the codepoint U+2AC1. It lives in the Supplemental Mathematical Operators block. In many contexts, it is used as a mathematical relation. The symbol appears as a cross with a subtraction-style mark below, and it can denote a subset relation with an added operation in formulas. In user interfaces, a cross symbol often signals close or delete, if the design allows this meaning. It can also indicate an incorrect state in a context where a choice is invalid. When designers show math or logic, the symbol can mark a special subset relation or a combined operation, depending on the surrounding notation. Its usage is not fixed to one task; readers should rely on surrounding symbols and text for the exact meaning. Across applications, the symbol helps separate concepts or identify a specific kind of subset in a larger equation. For developers and educators, clear labeling or a legend is helpful. The symbol ties a mathematical idea to a visual cue, aiding quick recognition in complex formulas and interfaces.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2AC1 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.
