There is a symbol for it in predicate logic.

"And/or" is just called "or" and is represented as ∨, from the Latin vel meaning or. But note that it's a separate symbol from the letter "v", though similar.

In contrast, "or" in the sense of "this one or that one but never both" is called "exclusive or" or "xor" and can be symbolized as ⊻ or ⊕.

Also, in programming you might see "and/or" represented as | or as ||, and "xor" represented as ^. Which confusingly looks a lot like ∧, used in logic to mean "and".


I take "ZERO" credit for research or this explanation Henrik N --> Source - english.stackexchange.com/

I know this is about 'and/or' but the symbols expressed above are used for 'or' in mathematics and programing. Although no overly helpful; BUT hopefully this will give you or someone else some ideas.

For "and" you could obviously use & or + -- these would be the most intuitive.

For "or" something which indicates a "split" might work....
