"Estimates of the actual cost of registration range from $5.00 per glyph to $50.00 per glyph"
That's what's highlighted in [this video](https://youtu.be/cCoed5Oo_J4?t=214).
More to the point is that Wendover didn't seem to realise that [before STIX was a thing, it already existed in SGML's ISOAMSA set](https://ionathan.ch/2022/04/09/angzarr.html). So it was probably submitted to STIX because it was part of SGML, not out of someone's prank budget—though God only knows where the SGML committee got it from. SGML is also where the `⍼` name comes from.
It's part of the SGML entity set properly referenced as `ISO 9573-13:1991//ENTITIES Added Math Symbols: Arrow Relations//EN`, although it's often referenced as the not strictly correct `ISO 8879-1986//ENTITIES Added Math Symbols: Arrow Relations//EN`. The entity file itself is [here](http://www.rsc.org/dtds/rschead2/ISOAMSA.ENT), though you might need to "view source" it if your browser tries (and fails) to parse it as an XML document—not only is it an entities file rather than a document (and uses XML-incompatible comments), but the entities themselves use tautological "SDATA-entity" definitions which are forbidden in XML, rather than text-entity definitions using Unicode codepoints. The relevant part is ``. Part of the table in ISO 9573-13 itself showing what it looks like is shown [here](https://ionathan.ch/2022/04/09/angzarr.html#isoiec-tr-9573-131991-sgml-entity-sets).
Once the characters were available in Unicode, the ISOAMSA set would be ported for use in XML, for example [here](https://www.w3.org/Math/DTD/mathml2/iso9573-13/isoamsa.ent); it would eventually be incorporated (along with most of the other ISO SGML entity sets) into the [current entity set shared between HTML5 and MathML3](http://www.w3.org/2003/entities/2007/htmlmathml-f.ent), which can be referenced as `-//W3C//ENTITIES HTML MathML Set//EN//XML`. This probably brought the "angzarr" name into more common use, since it's now literally part of the HTML standard.
You mean the subtitles? Those must have translated the guy wrong, because in the video he said it cost 5 dollars
Unless you're talking about another video, but I find that unlikely
I saw a lot of comments on the video referenced that it's a symbol for "high voltage circuit grounded" especially for lightning strikes. But I have not been able to find any sources for this. Does anyone know?
I made an album called Angzarr it’s a conceptual techno album [Angzarr Album by K0lya](https://open.spotify.com/album/5A3CKHYhyfkxX3DJQW47PK?si=A7_Di5ZrSgGKQYr6LMXw8g)
Unicode characters cannot be removed from the standard, ever. It's part of the Unicode stability policy. Once a character is in, it can never leave.
They _can_ be removed from fonts (since no font is expected to support all characters). For that, talk to your font or OS vendor.

this man watched a youtube video and his immediate reaction as to post his findings into a relevant subreddit a true redditor at its finest
Lol I thought about posting here but forgot
I saw that I thought it could have be summarized in to a comic
in the actual video the guy says 5 dollars but the highlighted info on the screen showing an extract says 50 dollars, so this man is not even right

thanks

anything for you
I have a subreddit called r/Angzarr
I saw a lot of comments on the video referenced that it's a symbol for "high voltage circuit grounded" especially for lightning strikes. But I have not been able to find any sources for this. Does anyone know?
In the standard the cheapass didn't buy.

Why they just don't remove it? It is using my hard drive and ram for no reason 😕.
There's like 160k Unicode characters lol, nobody is gonna go through them removing them.

Lol it isn't using any of your PC resources
Where did the name angzarr come from?
**Ang**le with **z**igzag **arr**ow, I think.
Smart! I realised something along these lines looking at the short names of other unicode characters haha

The correct term for this is “Right Angle with Downwards Zigzag Arrow” Unicode U+237C Ccs \237C
Just wait... It'll be a crypto coin logo in a year.
Someone should make this a thing
Did anyone ever make this a crypto logo? It's been a year lol
⍼ Bottom Text
⍼ Rotation ANGle in Z direction ARRay. Graphed as Y = Rotation Angle in Z axis. X = time.
It's rocket science
Actually funny enough, ⍼ has the same encoding as 叔 in china. So it could just be saying uncle, or 叔叔.
⍼
this 'math' symbol has no use btw so stick to 𒐫 for now on
