U+2380 Insertion Symbol

U+2380 was added in Unicode version 3.0 in 1999. It belongs to the block U+2300 to U+23FF Miscellaneous Technical in the U+0000 to U+FFFF Basic Multilingual Plane.

This character is a Other Symbol and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script.

The glyph is not a composition. It has no designated width in East Asian texts. In bidirectional text it acts as Other Neutral. When changing direction it is not mirrored. The word that U+2380 forms with similar adjacent characters prevents a line break inside it.

The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:

The Insert key Insert (often abbreviated Ins) is a key commonly found on computer keyboards.

It is primarily used to switch between the two text-entering modes on a personal computer (PC) or word processor:

  • overtype mode, in which the cursor, when typing, overwrites any text that is present in the current location; and
  • insert mode, where the cursor inserts a character at its current position, forcing all characters past it one position further.

The insert/overtype mode toggling is not global for the computer or even for a single application but rather local to the text input window in which the Insert key was pressed.
