Intersection symbol
Type :intersection: · Math
What ∩ is for
Only what is in both sets. The cap, the upside-down twin of union, and the operation that returns less rather than more.
How to type ∩
The shortcuts below are the built-in routes. With

installed you can skip all of them and type
:intersection: in any text field instead, which
is the same on every platform.
macOS
No direct shortcut. Use Edit → Emoji & Symbols, or switch to the Unicode Hex Input
source and type 2229
with Option held.
Windows
No Alt code. In Word, type 2229 then press Alt +
X. Elsewhere use the emoji panel with Win + Period, or Character Map.
