I notice programming stuff leaks into my thinking and writing often but I actually enjoy the various constructs that help clarify thinking. I don't have any formal background in logic tho :(

What are some useful and accessible logical tools/operators/symbols that help in thinking+"pseudocode" Edit: definitely useful math/cs/logical symbols are particularly interesting

If you can, please copy/paste the actual unicode symbol or whatever
