U+2223 DIVIDES: ∣ – Unicode

U+2223 was added in Unicode version 1.1 in 1993. It belongs to the block U+2200 to U+22FF Mathematical Operators 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 such that and APL stile.

The glyph is not a composition. Its width in East Asian texts is determined by its context. It can be displayed wide or narrow. In bidirectional text it acts as Other Neutral. When changing direction it is not mirrored. If its East Asian Width is “narrow”, U+2223 forms a word with similar characters, which prevents a line break inside it. Otherwise it allows line breaks around it, except in some numeric contexts. The glyph can be confused with one other glyph.

The CLDR project calls this character “divides” for use in screen reading software. It assigns these additional labels, e.g. for search in emoji pickers: divisor.

The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:

In mathematics, a divisor of an integer $n,$ also called a factor of $n,$ is an integer $m$ that may be multiplied by some integer to produce $n .$ In this case, one also says that $n$ is a multiple of $m .$ An integer $n$ is divisible or evenly divisible by another integer $m$ if $m$ is a divisor of $n$ ; this implies dividing $n$ by $m$ leaves no remainder.
