What does this symbol mean

What does this symbol mean
Z is the complex number, so what does Z-bar mean?
Does it mean the complex conjugate of it, i.e a-bi? But I remember the conjugate as Z* in the textbook

There are a few methods of representing the complex conjugate. A bar over the top is pretty standard.

And lends itself to such elegances as: abβ€Ύ=aβ€Ύ.bβ€Ύ\overline{ab}=\overline{a}. \overline{b}
