About the union symbol

The Union symbol ∪ is a mathematical operator shaped like a rounded uppercase U, open at the top. It represents the union of two sets—the collection of all elements belonging to either set. In set theory and logic, it is placed between two set expressions, such as A ∪ B, to denote the combined set. The symbol also appears in other mathematical contexts, such as topology and algebra, where it indicates the merging or joining of structures.
