Meaning & Usage in Geometry

The angle symbol ∠ marks an angle in a geometric figure or proof. Written before three points, such as ∠ABC, it names the angle at vertex B formed by rays BA and BC; the middle letter is always the vertex. It can also stand alone before a single letter, like ∠A, when only one vertex needs an angle in the figure.

In printed math and on the web, the character is often unavailable in a font or hard to type, so this page gives ready-to-paste versions for documents, HTML, and LaTeX.

Symbol Name Unicode Meaning
Right angle U+221F Marks a 90° angle in a diagram.
Measured angle U+2221 Used when a diagram shows a specific measured arc.
Spherical angle U+2222 Denotes an angle on the surface of a sphere.
Degree sign U+00B0 States an angle's measurement, e.g. 90°.

Summary

Copy the angle symbol (∠) and find its Unicode code point, HTML entity, and LaTeX command for geometry notation.

How it works

  1. Click the large angle symbol to copy it to your clipboard.
  2. Or click any format in the list (Unicode, HTML entity, LaTeX) to copy that exact string.
  3. Use the related symbols table to copy the right angle, measured angle, or spherical angle sign instead.
  4. Paste the symbol anywhere: documents, spreadsheets, code, or chat.

Use cases

  • Name an angle in a geometry proof or diagram, such as ∠ABC or ∠XYZ.
  • Insert the angle symbol into a math worksheet, slide deck, or textbook without a font that supports it natively.
  • Add the correct HTML entity to a web page instead of pasting a raw Unicode character.
  • Write angle notation in LaTeX documents with the \angle command.
  • Distinguish the plain angle symbol from the right angle or measured angle signs used in the same proofs.
