I'm using the contradiction symbol, ⊥, frequently in a formula. Is there a keyword for this? Copying and pasting the special character basically works, but I was just curious if this was independently supported. Searching for "contradiction" and "uptack" (as I've heard it called once before) on these forums and google didn't yield good results, so maybe it's just not a commonly used enough symbol?
On the other hand, maybe I'm just forgetting a more common name for the sign...
If anyone has more info, it'd be appreciated. Thanks for your time either way.

Code: Select all
a ortho b
NOTE: it is a binary operator, it needs something before and after it. If you need an empty space, two curly brackets will be enough:
Code: Select all
{} ortho b
There are two types of people: those who believe that there are two types of people and those who do not.

You can always add it as a symbol at Tools>Catalog...
