The following table lists many common symbols, together with their name, how they should be read out loud, and the related field of mathematics. Additionally, the subsequent columns contains an informal explanation, a short example, the Unicode location, the name for use in HTML documents, [1] and the LaTeX symbol.
Deutsch: Dieses Dokument listet 20323 Symbole und die dazugehörigen LaTeX-Befehle auf. Manche Symbole sind in jedem LaTeX-2ε-System verfügbar; andere benötigen zusätzliche Schriftarten oder Pakete, die nicht notwendig in jeder Distribution mitgeliefert werden und daher selbst installiert werden müssen.
Therefore, in this article, the Unicode version of the symbols is used (when possible) for labelling their entry, and the LaTeX version is used in their description. So, for finding how to type a symbol in LaTeX, it suffices to look at the source of the article. For most symbols, the entry name is the corresponding Unicode symbol.
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.
The closely related code point U+2262 ≢ NOT IDENTICAL TO (≢, ≢) is the same symbol with a slash through it, indicating the negation of its mathematical meaning. [ 1 ] In LaTeX mathematical formulas, the code \equiv produces the triple bar symbol and \not\equiv produces the negated triple bar symbol ≢ {\displaystyle \not ...
Note that a null set is not necessarily an empty set. Common notations for the empty set include "{}", "∅", and " ∅ {\displaystyle \emptyset } ". The latter two symbols were introduced by the Bourbaki group (specifically André Weil ) in 1939, inspired by the letter Ø in the Danish and Norwegian alphabets (and not related in any way to the ...
In the past, "0" (the numeral zero) was occasionally used as a symbol for the empty set, but this is now considered to be an improper use of notation. [3] The symbol ∅ is available at Unicode point U+2205 ∅ EMPTY SET. [4] It can be coded in HTML as ∅ and as ∅ or as ∅. It can be coded in LaTeX as \varnothing.
The symbol used to denote inequation (when items are not equal) is a slashed equal sign ≠ (U+2260). In LaTeX , this is done with the "\neq" command. Most programming languages, limiting themselves to the 7-bit ASCII character set and typeable characters , use ~= , != , /= , or <> to represent their Boolean inequality operator .
