The code point and name in Karl's original message do not correspond,
what is meant is U+2980 TRIPLE VERTICAL BAR DELIMITER and the character
at U+2AF4 is named TRIPLE VERTICAL BAR BINARY RELATION and is part of
the second set. U+2AFC is the N-ARY operator. (There are no n-ary
operators, it appears for 'divides' and 'parallel to').
