Final answer:

Without the visual symbol, it's not possible to determine which logic gate function is being described. Symbols for NOT, XOR, NOR, AND, and NAND gates are unique and required for accurate identification.

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer the question about which function a given gate symbol performs, the full description or diagram of the symbol would be required. Typically, logic gates are depicted by unique symbols to represent their specific function within digital circuits. Logic gates such as NOT, XOR, NOR, AND, and NAND each have distinct symbols.

For example, a NOT gate is often represented by a triangle followed by a small circle; an XOR gate is shown as a curved line preceding a standard OR gate symbol with a straight line; a NOR gate is an OR gate with a small circle at the output; an AND gate is usually a D-shape with two inputs side by side; and a NAND gate looks like an AND gate with a small circle at the output. If the student provides the visual symbol, I can give the exact function the symbol represents.
