RE: Tie over infinity

The only time I have seen them in Context is in some mid 1800’s treatises for the incomplete infinity and in a few documents concerning uncountable infinity from the early 1900’s, I have not seen their usage in any mathematical texts after the 1950’s that I can recall. It would seem their usage fell out of favor. Instead Aleph and Beth Cardinal Numbers, א U+05D0 ב U+05D1 replaced Uncountable Infinities, and (INCOMPLETE INFINITY) U+29DC ⧜ or (PROPORTIONAL TO) U+221D ∝ or (INFINITY NEGATED WITH VERTICAL BAR) U+29DE for incomplete infinity.

Tie over infinity is a variant of the incomplete Infinity, and rarely used to represent big infinity (uncountable infinity)

I asked around and looked it up in some source (including Cajori), but to no avail. Any clues about where else to look? Thanks.<http://www.insightsoftware.com/fans/?utm_source=Employees&utm_medium=Email&utm_content=Fans&utm_campaign=Signature>

Anyone know how "tie over infinity" ⧝ (29DD) is used in mathematics?
