Few dialects have Type as a [[primitive function]]. [[Dyalog APL]] uses <source lang=apl inline>∊</source> (as in ''prototypical '''e'''lement''), but only when [[migration level]] is 0, while [[NARS2000]] uses [[monadic]] <source lang=apl inline>⊤</source> (resembling the Latin letter '''T''' for '''''T'''ype''), which it inherited from [[NARS]]. [[Extended Dyalog APL]] uses monadic <source lang=apl inline>⍷</source> with the underscore indicating functionality of the corresponding non-underscored glyph from a non-default migration level.<ref>[[Partition]] is <source lang=apl inline>⊆</source> with migration level≤2 while the original glyph is <source lang=apl inline>⊂</source> as with migration level 3.

However, in all dialects that support nested arrays, the type can be determined by enclosing/boxing the array in an empty array, and then coercing out a fill value. Since the [[array prototype]] is used as fill element, the resulting array will be the type of the original array: | However, in all dialects that support nested arrays, the type can be determined by enclosing/boxing the array in an empty array, and then coercing out a fill value.
