APL symbols from unicode table: (Some many of these aren't in the article.) ⌶⌷⌸⌹⌺⌼⌽⌾⌿⍀⍁⍂⍃⍄⍅⍆⍈⍉⍊⍋⍌⍍⍎⍏⍐⍑⍒⍔⍕⍖⍗⍘⍙⍚⍛⍜⍝⍞⌻⍇⍓⍟⍠⍡⍢⍣⍤⍥⍦⍧⍨⍩⍪⍫⍬⍭⍮⍯⍰⍱⍲⍳⍴⍵⍶⍷⍸⍹⍺⎕ The other ones that aren't in the APL block but are APL symbols:

  • ' apl quote; 0027
  • ¯ apl overbar; 00AF
  • ∘ apl jot; 2218
  • ∣ apl stile; 2223
  • ∼ apl tilde; 223C
  • ⋆ star; 22C6
  • ⌈ upstile; 2308
  • ⌊ downstile; 230A

These are all according to Unicode 5. —porges(talk) 10:39, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

⍞ is "quote quad"; the print function [1] ⍡ = snout ⍢ = frog ⍣ = sourpuss ⍤ = hoot ⍥ = holler ⍨ = smirk/frown ⍝ = lamp (comment indicator) [2] —porges(talk) 06:39, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"functions"

Can someone who knows APL go through and fix the nomenclature used in the article? I'm told "function" is not the right term. --Cybercobra (talk) 19:28, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I had a look at the raw text because it would be nice to get the operators in there as well, in their own table, bearing in mind that these tables are for the ISO 8485:1989 standard and don't include the ISO/IEC 13751:2001 enhancements. Perhaps another three table could be added for those.

But then I saw the wiki syntax required to build tables! No doubt using the defaults is straightforward enough but ... Sorry, it's not for me. Phil Last (talk) 07:43, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
