# Vector2 > Representation of 2D vectors and points. ## Definition * **Type:** Struct * **Namespace:** [UnityEngine](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine.md) * **Assembly:** UnityEngine.CoreModule * **Implements:** [IEquatable\](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.iequatable-1), [IFormattable](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.iformattable) ```csharp public struct Vector2 : IEquatable, IFormattable ``` ## Remarks This structure is used in some places to represent 2D positions and vectors (e.g. texture coordinates in a [Mesh](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/mesh.md) or texture offsets in [Material](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/material.md)).
