Item #: SCP-10791

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-10791 must be maintained within the BMP (Basic Multilingual Plane) at all times. Removal from the BMP may cause disaggregation of the component parts, increasing nearby values by 2. While this is not considered a memetic hazard, the accounting department has made it clear that they will not accept non-standard operators wandering the halls since Incident ██/██/███ when [REDACTED].

Description: SCP-10791 is the result of unauthorized experimentation with SCP-889, SCP-1313, and three members of the Unicode Technical Committee. The less that is said about that, the better. What happens several miles north of ███████, Montana, USA....sometimes requires containment.

Since ██/██/2002, SCP-10791 has been contained in the ███████ Mathematical Operators block. Its name and appearance change regularly, though always an unlikely combination of symbols. Critic
