Logical And Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Logical And because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+2227, which you can use as ∧ in HTML, \2227 in CSS, or type with Alt+8743 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Logical And is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+2227 is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. HTML also defines the named entity ∧ for Logical And, but the numeric form ∧ is safer when compatibility is uncertain.
