U+00AC Not Sign

U+00AC was added in Unicode version 1.1 in 1993. It belongs to the block U+0080 to U+00FF Latin-1 Supplement in the U+0000 to U+FFFF Basic Multilingual Plane.

This character is a Math Symbol and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script. The character is also known as angled dash (in typography).

The glyph is not a composition. Its East Asian Width is narrow. In bidirectional text it acts as Other Neutral. When changing direction it is not mirrored. The word that U+00AC forms with similar adjacent characters prevents a line break inside it.

The CLDR project calls this character “negation” for use in screen reading software. It assigns these additional labels, e.g. for search in emoji pickers: not.

The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:

In logic, negation, also called the logical not or logical complement, is an operation that takes a proposition P to another proposition "not P ", standing for " P is not true", written ¬ P , P or P ¯ . It is interpreted intuitively as being true when P is false, and false when P is true. Negation is thus a unary logical connective. It may be applied as an operation on notions, propositions, truth values, or semantic values more generally. In classical logic, negation is normally identified with the truth function that takes truth to falsity (and vice versa). In intuitionistic logic, according to the Brouwer–Heyting–Kolmogorov interpretation, the negation of a proposition P is the proposition whose proofs are the refutations of P .

An operand of a negation is a negand, or negatum.
