What is the ¬ symbol on a British Windows keyboard called? You get to it by pressing Shift and the key left of the '1'.

As far as I'm aware, I've always seen this referred to as a negation symbol. That is its primary use: to negate a logical evaluation in formal logic.

SoftwareEngineering.SE seems to agree with me:

The only use I've seen for the ¬ symbol is to represent negation in the context of formal logic. For instance, if P is the proposition "It will rain today", then ¬P is the proposition "It will not rain today." I've also seen ~ used for this.

Also note the first comment in the linked post:

That character is U+00AC NOT SIGN and is one of the many notations for logical negation.

Unicode does indeed list this character as "NOT SIGN", which is shorthand for "negation symbol".
