<source lang=apl inline>⍥</source> and <source lang=apl inline>⍤</source> ([[Over]] and [[Atop]]) both apply the left operand after the right operand. However, <source lang=apl inline>⍥</source> has a larger "circle of influence" in that it applies the its right operand twice (once on each argument) while <source lang=apl inline>⍤</source> only applies it once (between the arguments).

<source lang=apl inline>⊂</source> and <source lang=apl inline>⊆</source> enclose at specific locations, per a specification, so their dyadic forms are [[Partitioned enclose]] and [[Partition]], respectively.

<source lang=apl inline>∪</source> is a styled letter ''U'' for [[Unique]].
<source lang=apl inline>∪</source> is a styled letter ''U'' for [[Unique]] or [[Union]] if used dyadically.


<source lang=apl inline>⊥</source> looks like the [[base]] of a pillar. [[Antibase]] uses <source lang=apl inline>⊤</source> by analogy.
