⍮

Pair (⍮) or Juxtapose is a primitive function equivalent to the dfn {⍺←,⊂ ⋄ ⍺ ⍵} which aids in constructing nested arrays during tacit programming where stranding by juxtaposition is not available. It is also equivalent to the catenation of the enclosed arguments, written ,⍥⊂ using Over[1]. It was introduced in Extended Dyalog APL, and then adopted into dzaima/APL. It was added to BQN with the glyph ⋈ in 2021.

Common usage

Its plain usage is in pairing up two parallel values:

Works in: dzaima/APL, Extended Dyalog APL

It can also be combined with Mix to increase rank rather than depth:
