Sense 2: bowtie. Also please fix the page to point to non-English RFV if you can; I could not find instructions to do this, so it points to English RFV. Equinox ◑ 15:29, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Unicode calls it that. `python -c 'import unicodedata; print(unicodedata.name("⋈"))'` prints BOWTIE. This suggests that there must be a historical reason where some people did call it bowtie. Nowadays most people just call it the natural join symbol. A Google search for this symbol only returns results with bowtie when it's on Unicode table websites.

All in all, I would suggest Delete. This just duplicates the Unicode box to the top right. Keeping this specific definition provides no additional information. Daniel.z.tg (talk) 01:48, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

• The sense was removed in June 2023. RFV failed, belatedly. —Granger (talk · contribs) 17:26, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
