[a] They were introduced by the mathematician Georg Cantor [1] and are named after the symbol he used to denote them, the Hebrew letter aleph (ℵ). [ 2 ] [ b ] The smallest cardinality of an infinite set is that of the natural numbers , denoted by ℵ 0 (read aleph-nought , aleph-zero , or aleph-null ); the next larger cardinality of a well ...
In 1928/1929 Alan Gardiner published an overview of hieroglyphs, Gardiner's sign list, the basic modern standard. It describes 763 signs in 26 categories (A–Z, roughly). Georg Möller compiled more extensive lists, organized by historical epoch (published posthumously in 1927 and 1936).
The new cardinal number of the set of real numbers is called the cardinality of the continuum and Cantor used the symbol for it. Cantor also developed a large portion of the general theory of cardinal numbers; he proved that there is a smallest transfinite cardinal number ( ℵ 0 {\displaystyle \aleph _{0}} , aleph-null), and that for every ...

As of Unicode version 16.0, there are 155,063 characters with code points, covering 168 modern and historical scripts, as well as multiple symbol sets. This article includes the 1,062 characters in the Multilingual European Character Set 2 subset, and some additional related characters.
Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols is a Unicode block comprising styled forms of Latin and Greek letters and decimal digits that enable mathematicians to denote different notions with different letter styles. The letters in various fonts often have specific, fixed meanings in particular areas of mathematics.
Typographical symbols and punctuation marks are marks and symbols used in typography with a variety of purposes such as to help with legibility and accessibility, or to identify special cases. This list gives those most commonly encountered with Latin script. For a far more comprehensive list of symbols and signs, see List of Unicode characters.
