I'm also curious about it, I have never seen it used or mentioned in any
reference.  I only saw it on some photos of keyboards and images of
keyboard layouts.  For example, APLX page [1] shows such layout, but I
couldn't find any use of it in APLX reference.

A+ [2], which is a separate language, derived from APL but not compatible,
uses it as bitwise operator that makes logical functions bitwise:

     4≠2
 1
     4≠∵2
 6
