U+2200 · Mathematical Operators

For All ∀

The universal quantifier, drawn as an upside-down A, means "for all" or "for every" in predicate logic and set theory. A statement such as ∀x P(x) claims that property P holds for every value of x in the domain. It is standard in math, computer science and formal logic courses, and in formal specifications of software.

Good to know

Don’t mix it up: It looks like Ɐ (U+2C6F, LATIN CAPITAL LETTER TURNED A), a letter used in some phonetic transcriptions, which should not be used in math.

Tip: The HTML named entity is ∀.

Display: the character itself is always the same code point, but its shape comes from the font on the device showing it. If you see an empty box, the font lacks this glyph—the text is still correct.
