Table of logic symbols

Table of logic symbols

__NOTOC__In logic, a set of symbols is commonly used to express logical representation. As logicians are familiar with these symbols, they are not explained each time they are used. So, for students of logic, the following table lists many common symbols together with their name, pronunciation and related field of mathematics. Additionally, the third column contains an informal definition, and the fourth column gives a short example.

Be aware that, outside of logic, different symbols have the same meaning, and the same symbol has, depending on the context, different meanings.

Some characters may be rendered as boxes, question marks, or other symbols, depending on your browser, operating system, and installed fonts. Even if you have ensured that your browser is interpreting the article as UTF-8 encoded and you have installed a font that supports a wide range of Unicode, such as "Code2000", "Arial Unicode MS", "Lucida Sans Unicode" or one of the free software Unicode fonts, you may still need to use a different browser, as browser capabilities vary in this regard.
