\uparrowSheffer stroke, NANDNAND, not both

up arrow

Propositional logicNAND is the negation of conjunction so is true if and only if it's not the case that both A and B are true.

NOR
nor

down arrow

Propositional logicNOR is the negation of disjunction so is true if and only if both A and B are false.
