倒转与号 ⅋

Ampersand is nearly one of the most popular logograms which stand for a whole word (「et」 means a conjunction 「and」). Initially this symbol appeared as a combination of two letters 「e」 and 「t」. It grew to change with time, resulting in the fact that today we will barely recognize the old-looking letters.

The classic ampersand & is used not only as a conjunction in writing, but also in computer science as a concatenation operator, to get a reference to a variable, and so on. The inverted logogram that you see on this page can be placed in text for decorative purposes. Its main function is to draw the reader's attention.

符号 「倒转与号」 包含在 「字母式符号」 块的 「其他字母符號」 子块中，并在2002年作为Unicode版本3.2的一部分获得批准。
